Preteen’s now an 8th grader…
Big kid on the block…
Well sorta…
Here’s some of our text conversation:
Me: How was your first day as the big kid on the block?
Preteen: Aha, It was good (:
Me: Did you throw any 7th graders in the trash can?
Preteen: They’re all bigger than me Mom!!
Me: Did they throw you in the trash can?
Preteen: Ahahaha…NO!
They’ll be glad they’re teeny tiny things when they get older, I think?!
***********************************************
The teenager was at her dad’s house and needed a paper to be completed.
Of course she didn’t realize until 9pm the night before that his computer didn’t work!
So over the phone she dictated her paper.
I questioned things, she changed things.
I insisted, she corrected.
I couldn’t comprehend, she texted.
I argued a point, she listened.
She argued her point, I listened.
She dictated, I typed.
We brainstormed.
Most importantly, we didn’t fight! We actually laughed.
Probably the first time since she was in kindergarten!
We DO NOT do homework together.
This was a big thing!
We were proud of each other, we laughed.
***********************************************
As we were getting ready for bed, the boy asked if he’d get moved up to the 4 yr old class.
Guess what?!
He was! The teachers told him as soon as he stepped foot into school this morning!
He’s so excited.
Mr. Big Stuff!
