The Little One

My dear Lillie. Daddy's girl. What should I say other than she's just a chip off the ole block. She's got Daddy's baby blues and my attitude. Ouch!

She started Kindergarten two months ago and we knew it was going to be tough. Not the academics but the rule following. She doesn't do well with rules. Wonder where she gets that?

The second full week of school we get a call from her teacher. Seems she (and I quote) "can't seem keep her mouth shut". NICE! The third full week of school, we get a call from her principal. The principal!?! Yes, the principal. Seems Miss Lil almost got herself kicked off the bus. Why? Because she's refusing to sit in her seat. She wants to talk to everyone. Apparently, she can't talk from her seat. She managed to get herself written up twice in one day. Two write-ups mean your off the bus for 1 day but because they were both in the same day, he took pity and counted them as 1. But, 1 more ~ and she's off. I asked her if she was scared to go to the Principal's office. She said "no, he's got a really big office and he's really nice". Great, she's going to try to visit him weekly now!

So, hubby and I got it together and did what any self-respecting parent would do. We put her in jail. In her room, of course. After 3 days in her room and blankie hanging on the ceiling, she finally realized she needed a change. We've been pretty good ever since.

She's a bright child. She's beautiful inside and out. If she doesn't kill us, we might get to see her grow up and become the shining star I know she will be.

More soon come......XOXO
