  • "I got a note ..."


    He looked worried, "Mom, my teacher gave me a note, and I don't know what it says.  I know I was really really good today, ALL day long ..."


    The note turned out to be from the Speech/Language person who will be evaluating the boys for possible therapy this year.  Tucker's speech isn't too bad, Michael can be difficult to understand and he has some language issues.  But Tucker wasn't thinking about that, he was worried that he was in trouble. 


    On Friday he reported to me that he had to sit at a separate table by himself because another child said that Tucker was "poking" him.  So I asked, well were you poking?


    "No way, Mom, I was just touching him kind of hard ..." 


    SO far, I haven't heard any reports that he's mooned anyone.  Let's keep our fingers crossed that situation doesn't change. 


    Michael likes the short cut MUCH better than the long walk to school.  But this morning, I cheated.  It was cold and wet.  We had a storm last night that dropped golf ball sized hail on us for at least 20 minutes.  Pounded the daisies pretty hard.  So this morning, I walked outside and said, "whew, we're driving..."  Yes, Momi is a wimp.

  • Another wonderful Tucker-ism...

  • I think the walks are a fabulous idea.  Michael prolly doesn't care for them too much because when you're outta shape, who the hell likes that nasty feeling of being physical?  I think that trampoline will help, too, if he likes doing that. 

  • I'm proud of you and the boys for the walks. (But there's no reason brave the elements just so they can tell their grandkids about the daily forced marches in the rain uphill both ways.)
    Have a wonderful Thursday!

  • Hey, don't give up on walking!  It is good to take a break and drive or whatever every now and then.  Ya, in a few decades when we are all zooming around in hovercrafts and spacecars, you can amaze your g'kids about walking their parents to school!  Steadiness is the way to a habit... in this case a wonderful habit...  Just a random xangaer here. lol

  • just touching him kind of hard...

    he's already parsing like a lawyer (or a politician!  )

  • Any kid that has the potential to "moon" in school has SPUNK! lol

    Let us know if he does so and his explanation for it. LOL

    Blessings..

    Gotta love that Tuckers logic :) reminds me of my middle son when he was around that age.  To cute i see big things in his future with that knack for spin control.  Now heres hoping if he does moon someone he comes up with a really good one to explain it..
