What comes around goes around

Yesterday, after school when I picked up my son I noticed a female student crying (she was with her mom). I said to my son, "I wonder why that girl is crying."

Son: Mommy, don't worry about her. (He said firmly.) Worry about yourself, me and dad.

Thank God, my son was sitting in his booster seat and he couldn't see my smile.

Reading Log: By the Book for Book It!

Son finished his readings for the month of October in his Kindergarten class. He is required to read a minimum of 10 books per month, so he can earn a pizza certificate. I think this is awesome because the PARENTS might be encouraged to spend reading with their children a few minutes a day at least.

Although, Son is required to read a minimum of 10, we try to read at least one-four books per day everyday. I have decided to keep a log of his books for each BOOK It! Month.

I would like to keep track of what my son reads for my own benefit as well as his own. This blog is to be sort of like a memory keeper, so that future generations of our family will enjoy reading this post.

I am mad at my body!

Son declares that he is mad at his body because his body won't let him tell jokes. "I want to tell jokes, but my body won't let me," he said.

I asked him why not.

He replied, "I don't know. The thing is I just couldn't be funnier now."
