Lately, Grant has been claiming that he can't remember anything bad happening at school, even though the communication from the teacher says otherwise. Today I asked him if he would prefer to tell me in writing.
When Grant was just starting second grade, he used to write me apology letters for doing something wrong in school. I found it irresistibly adorable. Stuff like: "Dear Mommy, I was talking today and had to move my clip down. I am very, very, very, very sorry! Love, Grant" Isn't that sweet and cute?
I asked if he would like to do that again, and he said yes. We will see if he actually goes through with it.
Trying to implement a few ideas from the book. For instance - trying to get my husband to recognize that most of his parenting is done with a side of anger, even if it's not the scary explosive kind.
So far the holidays aren't getting the better of us. Both of the kids' performances yesterday were snowed out. Sadly, they were already dressed and ready when we found out about the piano and violin recital. I guess it was fate, but I was unable to contact my parents and tell them of the cancellation. Therefore, we had a small recital for them in my living room. The playing was mediocre, but the reception was supportive.
I love my parents.
Wishing you sweet, happy moments! Hugs!
