Bad dreams

We found Q3 like this at 10pm last night. If I slept like this, I'd also have bad dreams, too.



This morning C4 was proud to announce:


I had a bad dream and I didn't need anyone


And Q3, following suit:


I had a bad dream but I didn't need anybody. But the monsters ate all the snakes AND they peeked in my door and scared them away

That was SO not worth it.

After a nice juicey bite to Q3's wrist, C4 had to bite and lick some soap. And not rinse until Q3 stopped hurting. Or, when I imagine it started to feel better.

So, we were blessed with the following monologue.

C4: Eww.
C4: EWWW.
C4: Ew.
C4: Yuck.
C4: That did not taste good.
C4: Ewww.
C4: That was really ewww. EWWWW.
C4: Ewww.
C4: Ewwww.
C4: EWWWW.
C4: That was not worth it!
C4: Ewww.
C4: Ew.
C4: That tastes yuck!
C4: Ewww.
C4: EW.

One year in the classroom ...

... and neither teacher noticed that C4 had mad reading skills. Do I expect too much??

How do you spell barrette?

They love to have multiple things in their hair.



Last night C4 was over energetic and just bad. So she lost all the books in her room (so she couldn't stay up reading) and then lost her goodnight story (really, she was BAD). It was a very sad moment for her and she was crying.

You know us, explaining, explaining, and talking about why she lost her stuff. And we asked her to talk about what she'd done,

C4: I was just showing off!
C39: How did that work out for you, then?
C4 [despondant]: Not too good ...

Q3 is getting very interested in reading. She likes it when I point to the words I'm reading, and she is starting to recognize her favorite word in books (NO). She called me into her room at 6:30 this morning to show me "NO!" on a page. And then when I went to go, she called me back againt to show me "Now" on the previous page, because it also had NO in it.

love the camera

This little slide that they seem to be outgrowing has lately become a focal point for Q3's play. C4 is only playing on it right now because I had the camera out. She'll do anything to get on film.

Ick a tick ... and proud mama

C39 just took a tick out of Q3's ear. Q3 wanted to know why she had a tick in her ear (er ... because they like blood?). All I have to say is it was a good thing C39 was there to dry her off, because I'm sure I would have missed it, I'm such a lackadaisical dryer. Now she is sleeping, tick ear down. The whole tick removal operation was exhausting.

And I know you are all tired of hearing what C4 can read, but she can read (almost) anything. We were reading Louie the Bouy tonight, and I had her read all the big words. Big words like ... automatically, oysters, barnacles, automobiles, and migrated. Tonight she had a tough time with turbulent, enveloped, and lieutenant. And she can count to 1,000. Add 3 numbers at a time. Count by 2s (odds or evens). Do long division.

Yeah, that last one was a lie.
