I don't know if Ralph will appreciate this share but I'll enjoy looking back and remembering these times.
The main requirements to love Ralph include comfort, care, and love - followed by secondary requirements of hug and warmth.
I have learned there are hierarchies of cereal as well. Certain cereals are preferred for the weekend (ones that take more time to soften) and others are preferred for the weekday.
Ralph's school day begins with Art or PE depending if its an X or Y day and then continues with Orchestra, Science, English, Math, Health, and Social Studies. He has had some Latin in English which isn't a favorite but otherwise all seems to be going ok. School is currently in school, face coverings on, and "stay tight and to the right" in the hallway when switching classes.
Ralph is currently close to being 2nd Class Scout. He enjoys camping with the Troop - and camping on his own. He does not like using a sleeping bag since it involves rolling it back up and tying it up. Putting away the tent can be a bit tricky too. He was able to go to camp this summer - it was a different experience but at least he had the opportunity. He did earn the kayak merit badge and have some other ones started that need to be completed. A few weeks ago he spent four hours on a kayak as part of the camping merit badge.
Ralph enjoys his screen time. He is currently on season #3 of Royal Pains and recommends watching Psych.
Ralph has taken to listening to a Walkman that surfaced from the past.
He still enjoys reading though a bit less because of the screen distraction. He likes to keep the whole series checked out from the library so he can refer back to earlier books in a series if he has questions or wants to refresh his memory on a character or storyline.
Ralph is within fractions of an inch of catching up to me in length and has a crazy active metabolism (read: he likes carbs and he can get away eating them!). He is starting to wear men's small shirts and is close to wearing men's small athletic pants (still a bit too big in the waist and length but the boys 14/16 are bordering on being too small - and the boys XL/18 pants are also a bit too big in the waist and long in the length). Current shoe size is 4.5Y.
