Me: Ada, how was your first day of preschool??
Grace (18m) not happy to be awake Eli (7m) thrilled to be eating |
Ada: Kinda good and kinda bad.
Me: Ok, well what was kinda bad about it?
Ada: The teacher wanted me to put the trains away, but I wasn’t done playing with them! I think I should not go back there tomorrow.
Me: Ada, Miss Toya said you’re having a hard time listening when it’s time to come in from recess. Is that true?
Ada: Well yes, but I didn’t want her to tell you that!!
Eli shouting at a friend: Well how would you feel if I went to your house and told your mom and dad that you didn’t want to play with me?!?
(So he apparently understands empathy, he just doesn’t practice it)
Ada: It takes a lot of practice. (then she starts giggling) I almost said CACTUS!!
(The best part – she then whispered “cactus” and totally reminded me of Brick in “The Middle”. It was awesome)
I love your kiddos…. AND Brick! 🙂
Erin and Zach look for Wednesday Wit each week….just thought you'd appreciate knowing that! 🙂
I LOVE knowing that, thank you Sheri! 😀
