Craziness. Is that a word?

Today was better having Helena there to help with the wild ones.  I am still very new and really trying to figure out when things should be done, and how they should be done.  It is hard.  But today was actually a bit better because I was able to help a couple of kids get to the point of actually trying to write the letter I which is almost the easiest letter to write.  It felt good to praise them and see them smile because they figured out they could do it.

Today was absolutely beautiful outside.  I love love love the fall!!  It is my favorite season.  Then winter then spring, then last of all, summer.  I do not like the humidity and heat.  BLAH!  It soon will be over!  I get happy when it is cold.  

I am trying to plan Michael's birthday party.  He has settled on the fact that he wants a McQueen party.  I guess it will be only for girls..... That reminds me.  Quick story.  He is 3, almost 4. Right??  Kim, his teacher, told me that for the past couple of days he and McKinley have been holding hands, and he has been telling everyone that they are married. hmmmmm.  What to do about that.  Funny huh?  He has even gone so far as to get in Kennan' face about it.  Kennan is her cousin who is very protective about her.  Michael practically shoves him away when Kennan is trying to get between them.  You should have seen the look on his face at the water fountain today when that was going on.  In my class we tell them that it is not time to play like that.  Some of the girls talk about kissing the boys or marrying the boys, and I am sitting there thinking, they are only 4 right??  I don't even know where Michael heard that from, or if he even relatively understands it.

Aiden had another crying fit today.  It is hard for me to tell what it is about because I am not there when it happens.  Part of me wonders if he just misses me and that is what it is about.  The other part of me wonders if he feels sick or something.

Michael got sent to the principles office today for telling his teacher that she was a meanie.  Kevan started it, and Michael followed right along with it.  I just don't understand.  His teacher says that he is good when Kevan is not there, but he just loves to play with Kevan.  Kevan might initiate it, but Michael pulls his own weight.  After that, he was a complete and utter terror after school.  We are going to have to find a better way of helping him control his anger.  Any suggestions?

Any way, back to the birthday party thing.  I need to figure out who will be invited other than the family of course.  I just don't know if I want an all out war in the house between Kevan Michael, Marc, Kennan, And Tabor.  The 5 worst kids to put together in the same room.   Let me tell you, it is not pretty.  Tabor and Kennan gang up on Kevan and Michael and Marc jumps in wherever he can.  It is an all out boy brawl even when they are not fighting with each other.  And it goes back and forth.  Each set finds something to do to the other set.  Kevan runs around with Michael trailing him and tackles Tabor, Tabor hits him and kennan yells at someone, then it starts all over again with the other set.  That is just what happens at recess.  The funny thing is, they aren't nessasarily mad at each other or trying to hurt each other, they are just playing rough.

Sigh.  Sigh again.  I was considering renting a bouncy house. I am not sure yet.

 Have a great night.
