Tyler's Beliefs

Tyler has had a couple funny moments recently, that have also lead to some life lessons for him!

This is my child who will tell you everything and anything about not sharing because of germs and whom I have learned recently has some pretty big beliefs on decency...maybe we should take some lessons?

The other night we ran to McDonalds before the boys baseball game. As we were exiting the building a guy held the door open for us to exit the building. Tyler says, "Thank you" upon exiting. When the guy doesn't respond Tyler says, "I SAID THANK YOU!!!" And yes I am not overexaggerating, he really did yell at the guy! Which lead to a lesson on non-verbal ques like nods and smiles.

At the ball field tonight there were a couple boys kicking a water bottle around. When Tyler saw this he yells out to them, "Hey, stop littering!" Now comes the lesson on telling people what to do, especially boys that are bigger than you!

Baseball Funnies

Tonight the boys had baseball practice and Tanner had a couple funny moments. Something must have gotten into him, because he had a crazy moment!

Tanner threw the ball to the girl on first base, but the girl wasn't paying attention and the coach said, "Make sure shes watching before you throw the ball." Tanner replies, "Well I was watching!"

He then starts prancing around and pipes up, "I wish I could juggle, well I guess I could juggle baseballs!"

So mad it makes me SICK!

I know I have gotten really behind on the blog lately and when things settle down I will catch up, but right now I just want to vent! Some of you have heard this vent and others not, but...

The boys Kindergarten musical was tonight and while sitting at dinner Tanner says, "Today was Mrs. Gs last day, but we'll see her again in March." Of course my reply is, "Huh, March...do you mean May?" Thinking she was going to be off till the first of May. Her husband just came home from Afghanistan and being a military wife, you are allowed to take some time off when your spouse returns.

Anyways, after dinner we took the boys to their school and dropped them in their classrooms to get ready. When I get down to Tanners room I ask Mrs. G about what Tanner said. Now this is where I get so mad at Clarksville politics!

Mrs. G tells me, that she put in for 3 days leave and it wasn't approved by a certain person at the Board of Education. That if she wanted to take those days off basically she would have to resign her position. To the person at the board, you are telling me that 3 days matter that much to mess up a whole group of KINDERGARTNERS last month of school!!! I am so sick of how some people with "the power" can mess with others, without!

Tanner absolutely loves his teacher, she has been the best thing for him and me. And I know that sounds funny, especially with me being a teacher, but I am a first time parent of a school-ager and she has been so kind and helpful with everything I have needed and questioned! I also have a different perspective than others because of being able to compare and she won hands down this year!

I am just sick with the ridiculousness of this...3 days, matters soooooo little compared to a whole month. Get off your high horse and think about the students who are being affected by this!
