We got back to normal quickly after Marcie's bout with pneumonia. She recovered quickly and is back to her normal antics. She is pretty hilarious from time to time and makes an excellent argument for getting her way most of the time. I really have to try not to laugh when she makes a good point and gets the best of me. That girl is just too smart!
Speaking of smart, she has figured out that spelling is fun. The other night she wanted to ask a question by spelling it. She began "C-a-n U" and then you could see the wheels turning in her mind as she tried to figure out how to spell "get." Of course, they haven't gotten that far in school. So, she asked if I could get her some water. Then, when I took it to her, she spelled "l-i-k-e" and knew it spelled "like." So, now Kyle is trying to spell and this morning asked if I would spell "car" for him so that he could write it in his little book. He has just turned 4!
Last night, Charlie told me that he cried at school and a teacher (he named her) came and got him and took him inside. He was on the playground at recess and couldn't remember where he had put his snack (in his back pack). Since he didn't have snack, he cried. I just wish someone had thought to help him go to his classroom and look in his book bag. Poor thing, he is just so stressed with school this year. They are increasing his time in the special ed classroom but I think he needs some more supports. I just had a conference with his teachers last week but guess I will need to contact them again.
Joanna is still lying about things. I know that is age-appropriate but it is just so frustrating because it is nearly constant. On the plus side, though, she is doing amazingly well with her writing and coloring. She makes her Js upside down. It's really cute.
We are plugging along. There were a few other things I wanted to write about but I've totally forgotten them. Gee -- wish I could find the fountain of youth and a better memory!!!
