spiderman

aka: dante

this morning we tested the cutest little boy named dante. he's four and in pre-K at headstart. he came in sorta shy, but i knew he'd eventually warm up to me. we did all sorts of stuff like build gates with blocks, draw Hs and Xs and Ts, strung beads on a string and recited our colors [in english].

every time he completed a task, he glanced up to check my reaction. about halfway through the test i noticed his spiderman sneakers and asked him to count how many times spiderman's face was on them. he obliged. twenty minutes later, he looks at me all of a sudden and twists his fingers into a web-making position. "spiderman!!", he exclaims.

<3 oh, dante, you make me remember how much i adore little kids.
