Kids Say the Darnest Things

Wasn't that the name of a tv show at one time? I felt like tonight we were on it and there was not a hidden camera.

The three of us were laying in bed and playing hid and seek, with the stuffed animals, etc. Cayden LOVES to play in our bed, it is his favorite place. Probably because it is the only place in the whole house that is off limits most of the time.

So we were playing stuffed animals and we were asking Cayden the names of his animals. I said what is this ones name (a dog) he said Cocoa. I asked what this ones name is (a bunny) he said bunny. I asked what a third one was (a sheep) he said sheep. Then his dad said, and this ones name is Joe (a tiger). He looked very seriously at his Dad and said no it's not, now you shut up.

Of course he went straight to time out and bawled hysterically but as he was in his room his dad and I had a chuckle. It was the first time that we saw the true personality of our son come out. Not in the right way of course but he will surely be a leader (about names of animals and everything) and not a follower as he gets older.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Well tomorrow if our first set of parent teacher conferences. I swear this week seems like it lasts forever and it is a regular week. I am not looking forward to when I have to rush around to make a conference and still make my time that I need to count for the district. My thought for the day after nine years of teaching: "People always say the grass is greener but I don't think the grass is greener or less green anywhere, it is just different hues."
