Both Soleil and I enjoyed the trip to school. She has a locker this year! My baby has a locker! And her teacher and I talked about Astronomy and then reading and she is reading the Twilight series too! Boohoo! They still don’t have desks in 1st grade, but they have tables put together. I can’t wait for school to start. I know she loves it!
On other hands, summer is coming to a screeching halt and man it is loud! Here’s a quick run down:
- Work: I have two major projects at work that have suddenly reared their ugly heads. I am in major typing mode and working hard at finishing an SOP (standard operating procedure) for review tomorrow and I have a code that several people are suddenly expressing interest in.
- Home: Soleil is having a sleep over with a friend and so I am painting her room Friday/Saturday. Wish me luck!
- Luna is going through a phase where I remember Soleil going through (Heck, I probably blogged about it) where she is screaming "I can’t"
all of the time! UGH! - There’s a protected post coming up. If you want the password, email me and give me some good reasons why I should let you in!
Oh, the “I caaaaan’t!” phase is just dreadful. I hate the attitude that it denotes, the idea that trying isn’t worth it, that everything is too much. But! It passes! Woohoo! And then you move into *new* phases! Ack!
A couple of my personal favorites from my 3 year old when I requested her to stop…
“Can’t stop screaming!”
and
“can’t stop saying ‘can’t do it’”
it’s hard to keep the serious look when you want to crack up.
