T.G.I.F.

Well, thank God it's Friday!! We have had a wonderful week! The kids are starting to get used to the routine and things are just starting to feel a bit settled. I am amazed at how eager these little ones are to learn! They are just so wide eyed and eager to please!....But I know, once they all start feeling comfortable here, and the newness wears off, The shoe is going to drop and they will start acting like siblings. AAHHH...just when I thought I kinda knew just about all there is to know about preschoolers, I get one or two that really challenge my knowledge! You would think that after twenty-five years, well, almost, it will be twenty five this coming June, that I would know all those little tricks these kids have up their sleeves. Well, I don't!!!! I will be the first to admit it. There is always at least one amongst the new bunch that truly baffles me. Maybe these kids coming through, ARE GENIUSES, (like most Mothers think that their first born is)...and I just don't see it!...Maybe the common denominator in this problem is me! If I had a nickle for each parent that told me that they thought their kid was a genius, I would be on an island somewhere where I didn't have to work! Let me shed a little light on you loving Mothers. Let me give you a little hint! Just because your child was not socialized with other children their own age before the age of three, because you were the only person you allowed in their life, does not constitute a Genius! This only makes them social outcasts! Just because you force your child to talk in full sentences before allowing them to do something, does not constitute a Genius!! This only causes low self esteem, as well as neurotic, impulsive behavior as they grow older! Just because you choose to read chapter books instead of Dr. Seuss to your child before they go to bed, does not constitute a Genius!! It only causes undo stress and night terrors! Just because you drill your child on a daily basis on how to write his /her name, does not constitute a Genius! All it does is confirm how messed up you are as a parent! Maybe you should have another kid just to take the focus off of the first one, then maybe you would realize that the first one isn't any smarter than the second, or maybe that you had another Genius. If the latter is the case, well than maybe you should just go ahead and keep on reproducing so there would be more geniuses in the world! WHATEVER! ! All in all I guess that's what makes the world go 'round! It sure makes for conversation!
