We had soccer tonight & for the first time chatted with a dad of DS' classmate that we've seen around. DS has grown a real liking to this kid about halfway through the schoolyear. We see him enough so they were playing around & DS was acting a fool so I was helping him fix these ladder things that he messed up while they ran off & he striked up conversation. A lot about sports. Lol almost seemed as though he was scouting him. Kept saying DS was "big" (he's really not, his kid is just small) apparently he coaches baseball so he asked if he had interest but I told him we opted not to because of the time commitment & in the fall, we're planning on moving DS up to the soccer team so he can't do both baseball & soccer, he even said it himself for his kid that he told him he's gotta choose because he likes both, the schedule conflicts. Then he mentioned his kid doing football & wrestling. Yea, no. My kid is not an athlete & we're okay with that. We do other things besides sports, thanks. I can't fathom a 6yo doing football or wrestling. ??? But he made it sound like this is the age that the learn & yada yada idk our kid is different though, it's hard to explain to someone you just met. Anyway before soccer was over, dh asked me if we should exchange numbers so we can have another contact to attempt a playdate since they really like each other so we'll see how that goes/see if that ever happens. LMAO

I vacuumed today and got a smug sense of satisfaction that DD followed with the swiffer on our hard wood and did half my work. I'm liking this age.

It is taking DD some time to fit in at school. She's just starting to make friends and we may have an actual playdate next week. One of the grocery stores here gives out spacecraft/astronaut collectable stickers and an album to put them in and today the class could bring their stuff to swap. I was anxious as to how it would go, since she is the youngest, I was afraid she would be shortchanged. When I picked her up all of her doubles were gone (she had about 40) and the album broke so it was only the front and back left. She said she got one or two new ones already stuck in. I asked in the class app group if any one had mistakenly brought home my daughters book and that I would hope to reunite it with its cover soon. If it does not turn up I'll be pissed. I am not sure what went down but I feel like the teacher should have looked out for her a bit. DD talked about giving stickers away to kids 'so they would be friends'. It seems like she was pressured a bit and I don't like it. At the same time, school politics and social stuff is something she has to learn.... I read this all wrong. I thought she had given away the doubles and somehow I totally missed that the album was broke. I apologize for my previous response to you that didn't even mention this. I would be upset by the broken book with missing pieces too. Hopefully it was just taken by accident or got left somewhere in the room and she'll be able to get it back.

radiantfate , yes! She is insanely picky. It drives me up the wall. I'm in a Facebook group with other parents whose kids have selective eating issues (beyond your typical picky eating issues). A lot of their kids are autistic but some are just selective eaters (like mine). It might be helpful to you! If you want I can see if I can add you. See this is what I don't know....is her pickiness normal or is to something more? Her doctors don't seem concerned b/c she isn't losing weight, but I feel like that shouldn't be the only criteria they look at. And I often get the "someday when she gets older she'll eat more" comments, and while that may be true I really wish she would eat better now.

Add me to the picky eater club & he basically eats zero veggies besides carrot sticks once in great while. I feel like it may be a common kid thing because there's so many of us but who knows, all we can do is try the best we can. Food is tough because they have to eat at some point, you can't force things down their throat.

Part of me knows it's just something that happens when you have a room of 4-6 year olds messing with these things, part of me hoped that she would succeed in trading her doubles and bringing home missing stickers. She does not really seem upset by whatever happend, so maybe I am too invested, ha.
