Behavioral Updates

Grace: So Mom...I have to tell you what happened to me yesterday. Well...I was a little out of control and didn't really hear the bell. So...I noticed that my whole class left without me and I had to go to the principal's office so that someone could take me to class.

Grace: Um Mom...I kind of got in trouble today.
Mom: Really??? What happened?
Grace: Well. I was touching Ms. Sousa's stuff and had to go to timeout. She said if I did it again she would send me to the principal's office.
Mom: You know...the whole time I went to school I never went to the principal's office. I was so afraid of getting in trouble. I didn't even want my name on the board.
Grace: Well good for you Mom. My school is much lazier. (?????)

(In the middle of a meltdown after being asked to go put on a tank top and take off the long sleeve shirt in 100 degree weather)

Mom: Emma, I asked you to go put your tank top on. Where is it?
Emma: I don't know. It ran away.

(Shopping for birthday supplies in October means that Emma sees more Halloween monsters than she needs to)

Mom: Just cover your eyes and say "I don't like you."
Emma: Just take me home so I can hide from the monsters.

No way V!! You NEVER got in trouble? That is impressive. I think Mattie Sue is your daughter and Grace is mine!! Think how fun and spunky she will be when she gets older!

Again, glad you are in front of me with kids.....I plan to follow how you handle things.

We need to get our kids together to play!
