From the mouth of babes

Yesterday was a good day.  Christian went back to school and had a good day.  I sent with him a letter to his teacher to inform her about the whole ADHD thing.  I didn't get a response which doesn't surprise me.  I don't get much feedback from her unless its negative.  I went thru Christians binder on Sunday to get it ready for school.  I found a thank you card that had been torn into about 6 or 8 pieces then taped back together.  I read what I could and it was a thank you card for the candy.  When Christian saw that I had it, he took it to go throw it away.  He's still upset about that whole thing.  I'm just not sure if I should talk to her about it or if I should just drop it.  The easy thing would be to just drop it for sure, I'm just not sure what she'll say.  I guess he ripped up the note in class and she made him tape it all back together.  She told him that it wasn't her fault because he just put the candy on her desk and didn't tell her what it was for, so she assumed it was for her.  It just seems to me that when you have a food assignment that would be what it was for.  I don't know.

I have another meeting at Sylvan tomorrow to check in on Christian's progress after another 12 hours of instruction.  I am anxious to hear how he's doing even though I KNOW he's doing amazing!  The other day he asked me if 5x5 was 25....uh yeah!  He gets it!  He totally gets this whole math thing now and I couldn't be more excited!

I was pulling a few things out of the fridge to make some dinner for the boys last night.  Ayden walks up and says "mom, you don't have a pee pee".  Oh great!  Well he's too young for that conversation so I quickly agreed and moved on.

We had our neighbor girl over to play over the weekend for a little while.  She and Christian were playing with playdough at the kitchen table and she was making food items with it.  Christian was making robots.  Well, she said something about making meatballs to put in her burrito and it made me chuckle to myself when Christian said to her "I'm pretty sure that you don't put meatballs in burritos".  That's my boy!
