You were a little slow to wake up this morning. As you were stretching, I asked about what you have been learning about rainforests this week at school. You told me all about which animals live in the emergent layer.
As soon as you got up, you ran upstairs to check on Jackie. Poor girl can’t even take a shower in peace lol. You scolded her gently that she didn’t handle the golf ball you gave her to clean in her shower properly. You were telling me about the emergent layer of the rain forest.
We did words on way to school and you brought them in to give to Ms. Ida at the gate. You were pretending to be the teacher and calling on classmates. When they got them wrong, you would encourage them “NO, but that’s close! Good try! Keep working!” It was so sweet. Then you would call on me to “get it right!” I’m stunned by the things you say and the things you know. You truly are remarkable. You sang a song about sight words that you made up too!!!
You had Spanish today and you were so happy to tell me about it when I got home. Before Ms. Sandy could get out the door, I was changing my clothes and you & Daddy had a little spat ending in you talking back. I came out to the living room and talked you both through it and we started over. You have been very quick and easy to upset lately. I’m not sure what’s going on, but if I get tough with you it makes it way worse. If I speak softly and bring things way down it goes much better. We get back on track much more quickly. We got back to our evening quickly and we sat down to dinner. Jackie worked late and when she got home you were super happy to put on an Elvis concert for her singing Burning Love! After the fun was done, we headed to bed. You tried to bring Jackie, but I knew you wouldn’t sleep if she came. We did some Lingos and you were out shortly.
I love you so much!
