Mythology

In the interest of full disclosure, I'll say that Samuel's current interest in mythology started mostly because we have been watching Stargate: SG1 on DVD. If you are not familiar with this sci-fi series, it delves heavily into Egyptian mythology, and other mythologies to a lesser degree as well. So, Shawn has been reading mythology books to Samuel. So far, they are all the way through the ones on Greek mythology and Norse mythology and are now working on the Egyptian mythology one. Samuel likes to make masks for himself of the different Egyptian gods. And we started going to a cultural program at a local museum, and the first week was on Egypt! We got to see the Egyptian exhibit, make a sarcophagus mask, and write with hieroglyphics.
