One of Declan's homework assignments last night was to draw an outline of himself and then correctly draw where his internal organs were. I swear to God, the only one we told him to do were his intestines. We figured they needed to "represent" given his Daddy's recent trouble with them.
Lest you think my kid is a world class genius, we did help him with all the spelling, though.
Oh, and the dot on the stomach? It's not cancer. It's his belly button.

P.S. 30 Days of Thanks
I am thankful that my kid is so smart. It's seriously fun to talk to him and watch his mind expand. Of course, trying to keep up on his homework in a few years is going to be a challenge.

Oh my word, that is the cutest picture EVER. But how is his drawing going to fit in a scrapbook?
Very cool homework! I'd be hanging that on the wall in his room if it survives going to the classroom and back.
Wow, that is just crazy that they ask for this in kindergarten! Very cute pic though.
What kind of school do you have him in? Holy cow? And they have homework in SK? I will stop bitching about ABC project now...
What an awesome picture! Can you imagine if we had to do that in K?
Nathan's science class made vests (out of paper grocery sacks) with their internal organs labeled in them. The organs on the back were on the back side, etc. He wore it home and on the way, I had to sop by the grocery store and the post office. Freaking hilarious.
Wow. I'm always floored at how much kids know at such younger ages now. Cool project!
Declan is very cute and he is indeed very smart :)
This is so funny, my kids did the exact same thing in a science class, yesterday.
I showed them the picture and now they are insisting that we go to Colorado and do the project again with their new friend Declan!
Kids are a riot!
What a cute assignment, and what an adorable boy! If he happens to know where the spleen is located, could you have him e-mail me? I have no idea where mine is, and it's always bugged me.
hahaha...that's so fun! i love that he labeled his elbows and knees as internal organs :)
is this his training to be the 'chalk-outline guy' for the police academy?
I don't think you were there yet, but a few years back we did this in K class, but M.G. had the parents all donate t-shirts and the kids used puffy paint to draw their organs out on them. We did kidneys on the back and everythign. All the K's wore their shirts to school later. It was seriously the single cutest thing ever.
Goooo Dex! That is awesome.
It looks just like him!!
Yep, he's a boy. Notice how his the way to his heart is through his mouth?
That's a great project!!
he IS very, very smart! before i clicked the picture larger i was thinking, "if declan can name more internal organs than i can, i need to watch more hospital-inspired shows!"
phew. i knew all the same parts he did.
wow, your kindergarten is way harder than our kindergarten!
I totally remember doing this in Kindergarten! Except, you know, after we outlined then we used stuff like macaroni to make hair. I THINK I put the hair in the right place...
Nice going, Declan! Amazing work!
Awesome. Is he in training to go to work for CSI next? LOL!
And I must say, his writing is really good. I know 2nd graders who letters and writing are much less legible than his, quite impressive.
Cuteness!!!!!
He is mighty cute. They do start the homework early these days...
It reminds me of the Operation game.
You should get him the Operation game so he can figure out where to put his funny bone!
Love it! what a smart and gifted boy you have there.
My son is in 4th grade. He's doing power point presentations and bringing home backpacks that weigh more than he does.
He started algebra and geometry in the third grade. Mind you it's very simple versions, but versions nonetheless. Be afraid, be very afraid.
That is so cool! We had to make sedimentary rocks last month with epsom salt and sand. Had to go buy some epsome salt first.
Great photo too! Thanks!
What a great project. And D is as adorable as ever.
Love this picture, and Declan has such nice handwriting!
I don't mean to take anything away from your child and your parenting -- because you and he are awesome -- but I am so frightened by Declan's home work! Is he in public school? Is this standard-level curriculum in the US?
Nat and Alpha Dogma, it's regular public school!
I love the throat into the mouth.
Thanks so much everyone. :) And welcome newcomers! And Oldcomers too. I feel bad I have been such a bad blog friends lately.
HAHAHAHA...this cracks me up...I love it!!!
