it has been that kind of a week.
but for sure the high point was this....
abe has been telling me for about a week that he needed a pencil for school. i heard him, sort of. a few days later i got around to buying him some pencils. i went to his class to help with a few things and noticed his desk drawer was a disaster! his last class had a system for organizing and this class doesn't. i realized abe was in need of a "system" so we started to clean it out and come up with a plan, when i pulled out this:
i chuckled and said, "nice pencil, abe." he got a little teary and said, "i've been telling you i need a pencil." he has been using this pencil for days.
a lesson on listening to my kids! i will try, try again this week.
If at first you don't succeed....you're normal?
