Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
John is writing his paragraph for school about what he will do over Winter Break. It will be busy and action packed – playing with new toys, seeing Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and (hopefully) having a sleepover with a friend. It will be fun times for our nine-year old!
I love it when Chippy and Melty help me wrap presents!
As part of the Duty to God requirements for Cub Scout Webelos, John participated in a walk-on, no-practice Christmas Pageant at Trinity Presbyterian Church tonight. He and one of his school friends, Jacob Fues, were Wisemen. John was nervous, but he still did a great job. Also, he told me after that he enjoyed himself. Sometimes, you have to face your fear!
Christmas cards have begun to arrive!
On every Friday school folder since starting Second Grade, John has gotten a check in the “I work quietly and do not disturb others” field, meaning that he does not work quietly and does disturb others. John likes to talk and play and he does both during class despite knowing that he should not do it. I think sometimes he actually just cannot help himself. When John got home from school today, he was so excited to show me his Friday folder. He had put a check mark in his “What I Think” column for that field, but there was no check mark from Mrs. Dempsey! He told me that he worked really, really hard these last two weeks and that he would try to keep it up. He was also very proud of himself and he should be. Great job, John!
This is my White Elephant gift for tomorrow’s work holiday party – two pre-mixed Candy Cane Martinis and a box of Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies. It just might be awesome.
We have been having a fun time every morning looking for Chippy, our Elf on the Shelf, and Melty, his snowman friend. They find some interesting places to watch over us every day!
