My darling five year old is into origami!! He's crazy good at it, too! I'm glad we discovered a focus for his anal retentive precision. I'm collecting origami paper for our summer project of folding one thousand paper cranes. I hate to have him nap all summer (although he very often needs one still, but then again, our whole family likes to nap) so I thought maybe a quiet task of folding a dozen or so cranes a day would be calming in lieu of slumbering. We need to go to the library and sign out Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, too. Take a break from Harry Potter. I thought it might be nice to give the cranes to the Children's Hospital when we are done (and while we are in Portland, zip over to the Children's Museum as a reward for his kindness). It's important for us to teach our children about giving back and giving hope to people that have less than we do.
