Griffin has an imaginary friend named Zach. I take it as a personal sign of my superior mothering skills that it took me about a month of stories about G's imaginary friend to actually realize, well, that he was, you know, imaginary. (Okay, okay, it was Griffin's story after school yesterday that Zach climbed up onto the roof of his house, jumped off and broke his leg that clued me in. I am nothing if not observant.)
Apparently Zachary lives next door to us, likes to ride his bike, and worries alot about Griffin having another best friend named "Ryan." (Ryan is real. I swear.) Griffin can give so many intricate details about Zach and their mutual adventures that Chris and I could not stop asking for more stories about Zach. Zach is quite a character. I love that Griffin has the imagination to come up with the friend and all the stories. It charms me.
In other Griffin news, last night he also demanded a book to read.
"I am tired of just looking at pictures in my books Mom. I want to read like Aidan and Brennan!" He announced after dinner.
So I dug out a few of Brennan's sight word books from the beginning of this school year and taught Griffin a couple of the words. He was estatic. Completely overjoyed to have his own books that he could read. He read them to me, read them to Chris, and read them to Aidan and Brennan. He slept with them next to him, brought them down to breakfast and immediately upon their arrival this morning, read them to Chris's parents.
It is hard to believe that this child has another year to go before kindergarten.
And in even more Griffin related news, Griffin's favorite new song is none other than Lady Gaga's "Born this Way." He can sing the entire song by heart, while busting a move. I loved it right up until I realized he was wandering the house singing "Don't be a drag, just be a Queen."
Probably not what you want your four year old singing at preschool. We may have to go back to Glee. I bet Zach would love some Glee Karaoke.
