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."

Throw The White Crayon Out

I was sitting down with Son to make sure he was coloring correctly for his homework. As he dumped the crayons out of the crayon box, he told me, "Mommy, this white crayon doesn't work. I tried it at school. Throw it out."

I immediately knew he meant that the white crayon doesn't show on paper. I explained to him that it is for colored paper.

He said, "Oh."

Kindergarten Roundup

My dear son and I went to Kindergarten roundup today at 8:30 a.m. My son looked so cute carrying a book bag a little bigger than him.

We met his teacher and a few of his classmates. His teacher went over some rules and expectations of the classroom.

After we put our things away, it was time to leave. My son was a little disappointed when we were leaving and said, "Already?"

I've Been Tagged!

This is blog is about me the mommy, and not my son because I have been tagged to answer some questions.

Becka tagged me to play this game.

The rules of the game: Each player answers the questions themselves. At the end of the post the player then tags 4 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answers.

Five things on today's “to do” list...

Things I would do if I was a millionaire... pay off debt, put some into savings, fund child's education, and be a secret Santa!

Places I have lived... Illinois.

He is from "Spanish"

My son is very aware of different cultures. He sees that as a part of everyday life. He thinks cultures are as normal as apple pie. My husband and I make great effort for our son to appreciate cultures.

Today, my son had a 7 year old cousin come over. They hadn't seen each other for a very long time. My son was excited to introduce his cousin with the neighborhood kids.

Son: Diego and his brothers are Spanish because they speak Spanish and are from Spanish.


(Son thought Spanish is the name of the town, country or area).
