I can't believe that it's been nearly a month since school started. My kids all report good days at school and the teachers at Back to School Night were positive about how well they are doing. Joanna's teacher said she was doing well, that sometimes she struggles with being a little bossy but overall things were fine. Well, I have received the first official behavior report. Joanna had 11 days on green, 5 days on yellow (warning), and 1 day on blue (consequences) for the first 17 days of school. All she could say was that she had not been behaving but couldn't tell me what she was doing to get her card changed. I suspect that her chatter may have gotten her in trouble. Kyle didn't get his report yet but insists that he is on green "every day." We'll see. :) Kyle did get to bring Coco Bear home for a few days. Coco is a stuffed bear that gets to live with various children throughout the year and the parents document Coco's adventures in a little journal. It is very cute and Kyle was thrilled to host Coco for a few days.
Charlie is overall doing pretty well. He really is a calmer child in many ways. I think the hiatal hernia that we didn't know he had until after his surgery probably was affecting him in all areas of his life because of the pain. He no longer complains of belly pain multiple times a day. I am still getting used to the "new" Charlie. He is still so sweet and helpful *most* of the time. :)
Marcie is getting more like a teen-ager every day. Just the other day, we were leaving the house and from the car I glanced at the front door -- here's this trendy-dressed, petite girl, long-hair flowing, leaving the house with her bookbag on her back, food in one one hand, brush in the other hand, blanky clutched to her chest and something between her teeth. I couldn't believe how much she was carrying, but in a flash my mind fast-forwarded about 10 years to how she might look as a teen leaving the house to drive herself to school. I almost had a heart attack!
Well, I'm sorry but that's all I can update you on at the moment. More to come soon!
