Today was the last day of Brooke's farm school and it is just hard for someone to understand the concept that she is too big to go back next year. She is so excited about young fives, but has such an attachment to her teachers, I think it has finally sunk in this week that it was really coming to an end.....how do I know do you ask, ummm the nightly mourning she has been doing crying and hugging and hyperventilating about how much she will miss them. It just shows what an impact these teachers have on our children and how much they look up to them - so there were a lot of ......It's okay to miss someone, it will be alright, we can visit, they will miss you too, Brady will be going there soon and then you can see them all over again, etc....... So we managed to conclude the year end picnic with no tears today - we took pix of her with all her teachers so she can remember them - she wants to put them all in frames in her room, bless her heart......... The teachers were great and told her she could drop in anytime and just visit during the summer camps or next year. Some pix of her beloved teachers.......
Ms. C, Ms. Izenga (seriously the whole year and I still don't know how to spell it.....Ms. Pear and Ms Harlow.......
If only I could get a toddler to understand that missing someone gets easier every day because even though it's one day further from the last time you saw each other, it's one day closer to the next time you will........but before I finish that she is already asking "mom can I go out and play" sooooooo much for reasoning with a 4 year old.
I just thought I would include a pix of Nelly to remember - the ugliest cow on earth - what kind of cow has hair like a sheep dog???
and oh yeah we just found out her teacher at her other school, just turned in her resignation so as she is "pursuing other opportunities" we will be rocking a sobbing sad little girl to sleep and I am positive this won't be the last time...........(secretly I am trying to nab her for babysitting!!!)
Brady on the other hand has been sensitive to others in another arena.....it appears when lil ones get up in his grill at school he decides to bite them.......This occurred about 6 months ago when we took the binkie away, but now its back and I hate that he is possibly hurting someone, so we have been trying to do time out on the steps, but this kid kills me he doesn't cry, doesn't care - he just sits there with his head down and lip out and waits for us to come back - its takes everything I have not to go there and kiss him to death, nice punishment huh? Hopefully it's a phase, he might be cutting his molars, but no excuses -I just wish he wasn't so darn sweet when I am trying to discipline him.........22 months is way too young to know how to work your mother over!!! But it is working :) So unfortunately he now is a harden criminal and has a record on file at school and probably won't ever get a "real" job........(isn't this hilarious - an "accident report!)
