School Emotions
Last night was a little hairy at our house. Garmai had a really difficult experience at school with one of the classroom aids and she broke into sobs after school. Madeline tried comforting Garmai while she sat in my arms and was brushed off, thereby beginning Madeline’s swing of emotions. And then its hard for [...]

Our little counselor
At dinner time, Garmai was telling us about a problem that two of her new friends were having.
Friend 1: (sticks her tongue out at Friend 2)
Friend 2: “I’m not going to play with you anymore” and she runs off.

Today is definitely one of the “worse” days. I don’t know how long the “worse” [...]

Waiting…
Who knew that it would matter so much whether your birthdate was in February or June??? In the process of switching Garmai, we found out that since Garmai will turn 7 during the kindergarten school year, and not the summer afterward, we have to wait on approval for her transfer. Now, I think from my conversation with [...]

It was worth a shot!
Well, our latest news is that we are going to be moving Garmai back to kindergarten from 1st grade where we have her now. For those who don’t know, she was in preschool last year, but in an effort to get both our older girls in a more age appropriate classroom, we bumped them both ahead [...]
