Tritan is usually the shy one in our house, but he's becoming quite chatty lately. On Saturday, we were shopping at Bed, Bath and Beyond, and Athena noticed that her favorite store (Justice)was next door, could she please, please look around? We let her go with Tritan with strict orders to stay together. We turned up a few minutes later to find Athena salivating over high-tops and arm socks. Tritan, on the other hand, was telling everyone who looked their way: " I don't want to be here. She dragged me here."
Tritan also went to his computer camp this last week. He looks forward to it all year, and mows the lawn without complaining (most of the time) to help pay for it. It is held at Ryder University in Princeton, so he just rides back and forth with Dad. Brian *had* to go to a Depeche Mode concert with his boss (worst boss of all time) on Monday so he wouldn't be able to drive him home. I was with the other kids at Cub Scout camp (more on that later), and was going to have to drive up to Princeton after camp to get Tritan (not horribly excited about that). Brian's co-worker Anne happens to live in our development, and offered to drive Tritan home (so nice). Apparently he talked her ear off the entire way home. One of the tidbits she related to Brian was Tritan's scheme to get more computer time: "When it's Paris' turn to use the computer, I just go turn on the TV to a show I know he likes, and pretty soon he starts watching the TV and the computer is free! More computer time for me!"
The computer camp was great--he learned how to manipulate characters and change textures. Yeah, we don't really understand it all either but Tritan had a great time and made some new friends.
BTW--Brian said the Depeche Mode concert rocked! There were a few more breaks (because, let's face it, they're old) but the music was great and it was a terrific show. It must be horrible to work for a boss you can rock out with!!
