Exploratories

First off, brace yourself because if you've been following our family at all, it may come as a surprise that Hen is about to enter middle school. MIDDLE SCHOOL, ya'll. Mon dieu! And it doesn't feel as if we've been around long enough to have a kid entering middle school.

Anyway, to prep for this PJA allows fifth graders to shadow a middle schooler for a few classes. Hen was able to hang with fellow cross country runner, Saul, and he was able to go to an art class where he made these funky little dudes out of some sort of clay (see pic provided below). 

Hen often asks me what I think he'll do when he grows up. It isn't hard for me to see him having a career as a veterinarian, a park ranger, a veterinarian for the National Parks, an artist or an artist working at a place like Laika. Although he may stop asking and go a totally different route if he ever finds out that there are video game players that make a living playing video games.
