Parenting 101

Thanks for chekcing out my blog. I hope you enjoy it, I promise I will get better with the pictures, in the meantime, enjoy the quick read.

We had an issue with Parker at school. She receives 3 Skittles or M & M's at the end of each day. Yesterday, she did not get any so we got a note home from her teacher giving the reasons. She pushed another child which concerned us becasue Parker by nature is not an aggressive child so we asked her who she pushed and way. She told us who and he was being mean to her, we asked her why didn't she tell the teacher, she said because she says I am tattle telling. Houston, we have a problem! I sent a note to the teacher this morning, I wanted to know what was going on here and if Parker was doing anything to aggravate the other child. She said he and Parker play together as much as they fight and the child does tend to yell at everyone including the teachers. She and I agreed to work with Parker on understanding when it is appropriate to tell the teacher and when it is not. In this case, Parker's feelings were hurt and she tried to solve this herself but still got in trouble. We certainly don't condone pushing but you see our issue here. Her teacher is going to talk to both of the kids because Parker has complained about this kid being mean to her since the first day of school but we blew it off to a love/hate relationship until now. Keep her in your prayers and hope for a 3 Skittle day today!

Also, thanks to everyone who has checked on us after the storms made national news. We are fine, our house got lots of rain and wind but no damage. Lots of other people are not as lucky. I was at work and Brandon was home with Grant in a closet, Parker had gone to the Hannah Montana movie with her Nanny.
