I’m am very blinking man to C’s school. klong11 What’s the point when you will have to return them in a month? All of this. Why? I wouldn't even want the poetry packet. They've done everything else virtual, why not this? It's probably something you'll chuck in the recycle bin in a week.

I decided I was done complaining about my teeth and to do something about it. I got whitening trays made and will pick them up in a few weeks. I'm tired of feeling insecure about it. I am so here for all that you are doing for you. 🙌🏽 I’m trying to be on those same vibes after this move.

wedding I agree about taking to the coordinator. That is not a great look and why don’t the parents on that team speak up and let the coach that isn’t right? What a dick coach. jewels I second everyone else. My oldest niece is very insecure and if she is not good at something she just doesn’t try and refuses to do it. If he loves baseball is there a special skills camp that can give him individualized attention and practice. That may be more helpful than something in a group setting. I suggest that since you stated you both aren’t athletic and can’t help him skill wise.

jewels , does he want to play baseball? Or is he doing it because his friends are? I think the writing thing is normal. If you aren't good at something, you don't want to do it. It's human nature. I would keep an eye on it but I wouldn't do anything about it at this point, especially being virtual. With C and reading he had zero interest last year and he wasn't good at it. This year, the teacher has made all the difference. He chose it. I asked him what sport he wanted to play and he chose baseball.

I’m am very blinking man to C’s school. klong11 What’s the point when you will have to return them in a month? Text books are basically consumables. They act as workbooks and the kids bring them home at the end of the year. They haven't been touched this year, even by the kids who are in person because everything has been via Zoom and Seesaw. I would think the school would want to save money and save them for next year. I guess I'll be posting them to the buy nothing group for my neighborhood and maybe some incoming 1st grader will want them for summer learning. I would have appreciated it at the beginning of the year to give Cadence some extra practice while she was learning the material. Now its basically too late because we move on to her summer bridging workbook.

jewels it’s like you’re describing my boy! It funny, during our parent teacher conference last week, our teacher said the only thing we need to be mindfull of with ds is that he doesn’t learn how to learn because most things come so easy.

Do you watch baseball at home on tv? That's helped us explain that you need to run to the ball, and discuss that even pros practice on the tee. We have the opposite problem, j is apparently pretty good and knows it...and has the ego to go with it. He got tagged out for the first time Sat and was pushed over and refused to get up and everyone thought he was hurt...nope, just a sore loser. If he pulls that again he is going to have to sit out the rest of the game. I wasn't there, but I cringe just hearing about it.

We don't really watch any sports and I was just telling MH that we need to start. His social group seems to be the "sporty boys" so I don't want him to be left behind. I used to be a die hard Yankees fan but sort of fell off of watching a few years back and now I don't even know any of the players anymore.

Hey. I spent the morning picking up after the weekend. I swear DH makes the house messier when he’s home. I ran a couple errands and then picked S up from school. H’s soccer practice tonight is already cancelled for cold weather/wind so instead I’m going to take another barre class. The times of their classes are very inconvenient for me so I’m squeezing them in when I can. wedding that team definitely needs to be reported. peachsmama I know you already got your trays ordered but if anyone else is looking, I really like the glo whitening system.

Our taxes are done, a load of laundry finished, and I cleaned out M’s art/supplies cabinet. Progress.
I have a lot of stuff swirling around in my head, so I think I’m going to brain dump and make some lists once we get our baths.

C looks up to the big kids so much and would pay more attention to that than a game on tv.
