enchanted - What was the sale? Did you buy anything? Traveling is so exhausting, so I'm with you there. J is 4.5. She's been pretty good the last couple weeks. Dance gears up again in two weeks and she's excited about it. She's also caught wind of kindergarten and how she's going to be attending a big school soon (in September). I'm kind of freaking out, but in a different way LOL I'm okay I guess. Lots of anxiety lately about work and personal stuff. It's been a rough month. QOTW: She loves her tablet from Santa. And she's been so responsible with it. Not leaving it in random places, always charging it, never whining about the time being over... she's been really good!

DS1 (6) has had a really bad day. C&Ped from GD:
DS1 confessed to me this afternoon that he's been lying about the bullies on the bus. He wanted to go back to being a car rider so he said that kids were hurting him and calling him names on the bus. I called the school twice and he said things weren't improving, so this afternoon, I had him get in the car and I was going to take him to talk to the asst principal when he told me he had been making most of it up. Everything that actually happened was just normal dumb kid stuff.
To top it all off, he had a new bus driver this afternoon who forgot our cul de sac (and DS1 was too distracted with his friend to notice), so he dropped DS1 off at the end of his route almost 45 minutes later than normal and it took a while for the school to figure out where he was when I called them, so I was already really stressed and upset when all this started.
In other news, he's going to start reading tutoring this week. We actually went ahead and signed him up for math too because I thought the confidence of being good at it and maybe getting a little ahead might help him.
QOTW: He got a Doc McStuffins nursery, and he's been taking care of Cece nonstop ever since. It's pretty cute.

Damn, hawkward. That sucks! I can feel my own parenting anger/frustration brewing. I'm sure he'll think twice about a stunt like that again. Honesty is the best policy, DS1. {{hugs}} And way to go, Bus Driver. Damn... you guys are having quite the week! enchanted - Need help shopping? Give me parameters  |

The bus driver forgot him again!  Fortunately they only got out of our subdivision this time, so the driver brought him back immediately. He came into our neighborhood, dropped everyone off, and just completely skipped our cul de sac. |

The school called this morning and said the retiring bus driver was going to call the new guy and tell him how he did the route through our neighborhood and what reasonable expectations are for a first grader being dropped off. We’ll see how this afternoon goes! |

He was dropped off correctly! Well, ish. He did it in the absolutely most inconvenient (to himself) way possible and gave me a dirty look, but whatever, I didn't have to track down my kid today.  |
