Plus, I'm hardly an expert on six-year-olds. What I think is abnormal behavior (like the utter drama of, like, *everything*) could be perfectly normal. <BR/><BR/>I can really only use Drama Queen and Sweet Pea as comparison, and since they're brilliant, perfect children as well... :-)Problem Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01456049865200737618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-86768985562243085592007-08-14T09:27:00.000-05:002007-08-14T09:27:00.000-05:00First, let's get this Blogger biz out of the way. ...First, let's get this Blogger biz out of the way. Blogger is what I know and apparently I'm the only one who doesn't hate it. ::grin: If we switch I'd have to learn a whole new system and you know that saying about old dogs and new tricks. I'm not saying never, but it's not in the forseeable future.<BR/><BR/>Now on the Amazing Child. I too think this is a shortcut on the school's part and I'd be tempted to ignore it, just like I ignored summer reading lists because how DARE they intrude on MY summer vacation by expecting ME to police whether my kids read a list of books. Of course both graduated from high school and college and are doing just fine, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Now I have Amazing Grandbaby who is coming to visit this weekend. I'll be able to tell just how much more amazing she is after that. ;-)<BR/><BR/>PMPlayground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-16879040355128912022007-08-14T08:56:00.000-05:002007-08-14T08:56:00.000-05:00OMG, that's just ridiculous!

LOL!)<BR/><BR/>Like you, I would seriously resent being given homework when I didn't even sign up for class!

Although Sweet Pea's teacher is brand new to the school this year. <BR/><BR/>Of course, the fact that my mom was a teacher there up until this year also helped. Most of the teachers saw her running around after school with Grandma and know her quite well already. :-) <BR/><BR/>Word verification gznaxczv - that's just wrong. <BR/> <BR/>InstigatorKira Sinclair - AKA Instigatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274056066229852126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-16304786855455243902007-08-14T08:23:00.000-05:002007-08-14T08:23:00.000-05:00I am not the blogmaster.

If you could just teach her numbers past 10 or so, she'll be racking up millions in no time. And of course, teach her to tie her shoes or she'll perpetually trip making her getaway.
