Hi Everyone! My school was closed last Friday so I was able to come to grandma and grandpa's house. As soon as I walked in the door, I asked grandpa if I could work on my ship (actually, I asked him if I could work on my boat, but grandpa says it's a ship).

I'm starting to think grandpa is right about this model being too hard for me. Even when grandpa cuts out the parts ahead of time, they are still really small and hard to put on the ship. It's also hard to hold the ship without breaking things. Worst of all there are squirrels in the tree just outside of the window where grandpa and I work on the ship and I get easily distracted. My grandpa says I am a living stereotype, but I have no idea what that means.

Here are my pictures this time:

I'll see you next time!

Excellent, I think you’re doing great! And if it gets frustrating working on the ship grandpa bought you…just kick him in the shin and go watch the squirrels play!

Don't sweat Ethan. I have no idea what Grandpa means as well.....He has this ability to confuse us normal chaps . Cool model though and very nice pics.

Your ship looks really cool Ethan!

I think Grandpa might be partly right, but only because this ship model was designed by grown-ups with tiny robot fingers. Tiny parts are tricky, ships are fragile, and squirrels are basically professional distraction experts (?), so you’re doing awesome under very difficult conditions. "Living stereotype” just means you’re doing an excellent job of being a kid, and honestly, that’s only a matter!

Thanks for encouraging my grandson, guys! We read all these posts together and he thinks it's pretty cool that people are seeing his ship "on the computer" and writing things to him.

Ethan! Good to see you, shipmate! Your ship is looking great! Keep up the good work!

You can think of "stereotype" as a model of perfection - I'm pretty sure that's what your grandpa means.

Blessings. Peace. Gratitude.

What a great job you are doing Ethan, your ship is coming on really well. By the way we have squirrels too and ducks and geese and racoons and deer so I get distracted all the time as well .

What a great model Ethan! You're Grandpa is right, you know. There is absolute no reason you should be distracted so much. The secret to ...


OOH! SQUIRREL!!!

Nice to see you working again on your ship, Ethan. Perhaps to understand the difference between a ship and a boat, a little memory aid:
The boss of a ship is a s(h)kipper (sometimes a captain). The boss of a boat is a b(oa)utter ……. And that has nothing to do with sailing.
If you slide the table to the window, perhaps the squirrels come to look at your build and they will be distracted. And you will have double fun.
Well, looking forwards to your next steps of your build.
Regards, Peter

Wow, that ship is coming along very well!

I'm a retired wildlife biologist so I believe all the attention one can direct towards them is well deserved. Wonderful beasts
