Open House

I feel like we had a good turnout to our open house this week. We had about a dozen people stop by. One person seemed very interested and another seemed somewhat. All the other's seemed like Robots.

We are pretty tired tonight. We spent all weekend cleaning and getting ready for the open house. It almost doesn't seem fair that the it is over the weekend. It would be better if it was on a Thursday night so we can rest over the weekend.

Peanut seems to be taking to the new class just fine. I think these classes are more structured than before, which suits her personality better. She is going to be running wild no matter what. It is best to keep her attention focused on something rather than letting her make her own fun. I can always tell when she needs to go outside and play. She starts climbing on things, emptying the dog water, whining, or just slowly dismantling the house stick by stick. Usually going outside or giving her an activity will redirect her energy into a more positive direction.

Her teacher seems to like Peanut. It seems that she has two cry babies in her class, so I am sure peanut is a nice change. Her teacher also said that she can talk more than the other kids. I asked her teacher to keep working on Please and thank you. One time I saw the kids all stand around the teacher and say mine because they wanted a cracker or something. I was a little shocked when I heard it, but I guess not all the kids have the vocabulary that peanut has. Her new class also has a potty so she can work on that when she is ready.

We have a long weekend next weekend. I can't wait. I think we are going to go to my parent's house. The live close to a lake and a river. We also might scadoodle up to Branson for some shopping. Contrary to popular web belief, the Ozarks did make it out of the 1990's.

I would like to share with you a picture of the clean bathroom closet. Which one of these things does not look like it belongs. It looks like Mr. T. is becoming a closet eater. (GROAN)
