Sleeping Like a Log!

Metaphors and similes - part of a basic English class for older kids - but Orion is already all over it.! He heard this phrase the other day and asked me what it meant. He seemed really amused by it. Now he often says first thing in the morning, "I slept like a log!" This is just one of those many things that people feel they have to "teach" children, but they totally get it already, even at 4! And if you don't make a lesson out of it, they are naturally interested and will even use these oh so complicated concepts correctly. Imagine that!
