shoot!

We've been working hard with Goober trying to get him back into the swing of school. Goober is rather socially awkward, see. We don't have any neighbors, his brother and sister are considerably older than him and he just doesn't have too many opportunities to play with kids his age. But he's learning. We had a few rough weeks at the beginning of the year, but his teacher is wonderful. She's very patient and she's very encouraging and she wants to see her students succeed.

But we have a rule in our house that good works get rewarded and bad behavior is punished. So we put Goober on a sticker system. Get so many stickers, you earn a reward. Get a note home from the teacher that you misbehaved, you lose something. So the reward was his bow, but if he got a note home, he lost arrows.

This week all the stars aligned and he had both his bow and his arrows. So all he did this weekend was shoot his bow.

He's getting pretty good.

This weekend all the stars aligned for me, too, and I got to play with my bow finally.

I was pretty proud of myself. I haven't been able to pull it back or shoot consistently since I got it. Until now.

So we played. Nature Boy got into it, too. Well, to be honest, Nature Boy instigated this.

Hope everyone else had a good weekend, too!
