we do homework as soon as we get home from school. so far, her favorite class is p.e. last time in p.e. the teacher had them do the crab walk up and down the gym. so now she does it at home and wants everyone to do it with her.
sept 13 - day 257
lifting weights.
i told her that in a couple of weeks, i would be going to meet with her teacher and get her report card.
k: what's a report card?
m: it tells you what grade you got in the class.
i went on to explain all the letter grades.
k: i want all A's.
m: that would be great, but i just want your teacher to tell me that you are doing your best work and that you are behaving and getting along with your friends. so if you get some B's or C's and you are doing your best work, i will be very happy with that.
k: oh, but i still want all A's.
sept 14 - day 258
i forgot to mention his other favorite thing to do.
if you order him to do something, he'll say " i can't hear you. "
so, me, giving him the benefit of the doubt, will walk up to him, look him in the face, and repeat myself.
his reply, " i can't hear you. "
sometimes, i feel like screaming, " can you hear me now? "
that little snot.
