jo_anne_stormI think it's in poor taste to rec your own story to a rec community.
I'm so glad that I am not a pre-pubescent hormone bomb. Though, how Eldest's Tae Kwon Do master dealt with the explosion of said bomb was wonderful. He sat and talked to Eldest for a good 10 minutes after class (which ran 10 minutes over) until Eldest was once again his happy self. Then the master came out and told me that I was a wonderful mom and was doing a great job.
This is soooo much better than the last time Eldest took a martial art, back at the ripe old age of 4. He acted up a little and the teacher proceeded to make me feel like an awful mother because the 4 year old was not used to being in a class of 30 kids. He started giving me parenting advice about using positive reinforcement. This is the same teacher that made Eldest go from refusing to take his Gi off to screaming at the idea of attending class.
Yeah. It was not a good fit for us. (I know other people who say that school is great and have had zero problems through multiple kids and multiple years.)
On another good note, today demonstrated to Eldest that sometimes you just need the emotional release of crying. A little later he said "You know, I feel a lot better after crying."
I love him to pieces.
I'm also glad I'm not teething. #3 is still happy, but more prone to crying for no apparent reason. And where the top two teeth are trying to pop out looks bruised and swollen. Poor boy. Of course, the fact that he was too hot, hungry, and tired when we got home did not help at all.
In other news... Is there other news? *shrug*
Did I mention that my husband is in CA this week? He's been away every other week since he started work here. It makes life interesting, to say the least.
There was something else I wanted to chatter about. But I forgot. *sigh* My brain is a sieve.
I should say something about Youngest. I mentioned Eldest and #3. Youngest is... Bee bopping along. He enjoys TKD as well. *shrug* I'm not letting him get lost in the shuffle, I swear. I just... Have nothing to say about him right now.
