The continuation of the bad chick-lit...
Well, it never really ends, does it? But, to keep interested parties up to speed...
Husband and I had a talk with Son last night. I don't know if any of what we said sunk into Son's head, but we did try to make him understand that he's got to start asking for help and that no one is going to be upset if he does. Hopefully Son will start getting more confident about letting someone help him.
Moving on, I meant to watch the SOTU address, I really did. I was all settled in with Husband, shouting insults at certain people on the screen, like shouting "Fart, George, FART! when I saw Nancy Pelosi walking behind President Bush.
So, just as I was calling Kerry and Reid rude names, I suddenly had to...become indisposed. Well, I figured since I'd missed part of the speech anyway I'd just go to bed.
Good thing, too, because around 2:45 Daughter was coughing and wide awake. Yep, she's got a cold. She was whining about her nose, so I did some quick mental math and deduced that she could have more PediaCare. I also changed her pants, got her some water, and assembled one of those plug-in vaporizer doobies, all by the glow of nightlights and the clock on the stove. Not bad, huh?

Hopefully, other kids didn't make fun of him because he asked for extra help. In a previous post you mentioned how much homework he had. Maybe he's afraid if he asks for help it will mean more homework. I don't know what's up with these teachers. Kids here have homework in kindergarten, yet it seems kids learn less and less every year.
See http://notserious.blogspot.com/ where Amy and Heather made the SOTU address a drinking game...funny stuff.

He loves his teacher and he thinks that if he doesn't understand something right away she'll be mad at him. The same thing here at home. He also gets frustrated and over thinks stuff. He's getting a little better; last night he brought home a math test that he missed one on. A silly mistake, but he said he still got a prize because it was a hard test. It was, for a first grader! It was all about the different ways to make 45 cents or 36 cents, stuff like that. And he'd even missed school the day before and he still got an A.
