calling all parents!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does anyone remember trying to get that excited soon to be kindergartener off to sleep the night before the start of school? That alone but this one has Tigger built right in and is she ever bouncy!!! She is excited, I am for her as well. However, as we lay listening to classical music and watch the color graphics on hubby's mac she seems least interested in sleep. can't get her to stop moving!!!! And then I had a call from a teacher who had my son his first two years in school and I think I may be a bit too old for this endeavor? No, then I know grandparents who are doing it so there before the grace of god go I. She is such a city girl though. I told her she could bring her mud boots to school and she very firmly informed me that children wear sneakers to school. Well, around here mud boots are a necessity. Specially cause it's raining! She brought home a VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR. Soon to be a Monarch. My spouse is so good with her and kids. He walked in the rain with her as she was full of energy and they found the caterpillar and we read the book everyday. She will bring it to school in the morning.

She can be so trying as well. What does one do with an alomost 6 year old who thinks it's funny to peek under your nightie? I correct her and she giggles. I swear I am going to start wearing full tops and bottoms to bed!!!

She woke us at 2:00 a.m. this am and would not go back to sleep. She has her own things happening. She is truly a gift.

Now changing the subject a bit, my daughter's birth sister wanted sitting for the 18 month old and then she called hubby asking for a computer. I wonder if I could get the baby in trade? I worry so about her. I just want for her to grow up free of harm and shame. I want her to have a childhood.

Well, mine is out so I guess My day is finally done.

Such memories..... as YES as far as the nightie goes just start wearig some thing under there - lol - for IMO most young ones do this.................. wondering what they might look like one day - they so silly.


LoVe,
Rhapsody - ((( hugs )))

I guess I best get used to pajama bottoms huh? She is such a monkey.

Lol...that's so cute, I remember the day well actually, and yes it was very difficult to get to sleep. I laughed real good when you said she looked up your nighties and thought that was funny because my little girl Brooke (16 month old) has a bad habit of lifting my shirt, pointing at my breast, and saying Bo Bo, then laughing about it. She tries to do it in public all the time. I thought she'd get over the Bo's by now because I haven't breastfed her in over 6 months, but no she's hanging on to the memory very well!

I think their curiosity and seeing you wiggle around a bit makes them laugh and look. It's cute though!

Did she get her back pack, clothes, and everything ready before she went to bed?....lol, I remember doing that when I was a kid.

I dunno, how do you get the 17 year old to bed thats starting her first day of college classes tomorrow morning at 9? I thought I remembered being tired earlier..wonder what happened to that. I'm still excited, I was never able to sleep right the night before school, and this is something way different. Oh well, Im getting off topic a bit. Good luck with the little one.

ahhh, she awoke at 6:13 and asked if she could get up. She picked out what to wear and everything. She told me what to make for lunch. She wanted it in her Dora backpack. (I HATE DORA) she chose her change and off we went. Now on the other hand, my freshman daughter called home crying after her first class. She has OCD and she is overstimulated by all of the smells, the size of the campus, the anxiety of it all. I am upset and concerned for her. Poor kid took a year off, had a 3.5 month hospitalization for OCD and finally prepared for school and now this!! Geez I want it to work for her so badly!
