Had a parent teacher conference for both of my kids recently. Emily's went fine... She is very smart and might grow up to be an writer.. She writes mystery stories using sentences like "he went down the cobweb infested stairs"...

Simon's was OK too. I am not sure I like his teacher thought process. She said that he needs to concentrate more and be less distracted. He also walks funny. "Maybe you should talk to a doctor about that? " I am sure he will grow out of it, he is only 4 years old. However, the good part is that he knows all his letters, numbers, colors, interacts with everybody in the class, has friends and likes the sharing time.

Things my kids say:

Emily while putting up her hair so she can take a bath: "Well, now, I look like a boy.... with a pedicure "

Simon is constantly paraphrasing Sponge Bob Square Pants episode about the Hash Slinging Slasher: "Look at me - I am eating breakfast - At night
I am putting my underwear on ------at night"

It is snowing here in Milwaukee... The stupid groundhog saw his shadow and I guess it is going to snow for a while. It is a good thing because it will cover up whatever Duke is doing in the yard.

Looks like a scene from a movie - you can pick "It's a wonderful life" or "Fargo" depending on your mood... I am picking Fargo....

Roger and out.
