September (posting in December) Still trying to catch up!

Well the teacher hasn't gotten any better, in fact worse!

She is overbearing, loud and a know it all.As the days passed by it began to surface that,she put several kids in time out for long periods of time, making them miss outdoor time. She kept my B in TO for 40 mins one day. She told me herself, like she was proud of it. All because he wouldn't say sorry for throwing toys and he and 2 others stayed in and missed outdoor time. What? 40 min? uh.. can you say 1 min for every age of the child?

Come to find out as well she was deliberately staying inside during playtime because she didn't want to go out because it was too hot. She is waking up, one kid in particular, during his nap to go potty. What? In the middle of nap time? What kind of person is this? My child came home with little or no artwork and she was too lazy to decorate the bulletin board and said out loud that she didn't see the big deal in making a bulletin board. This is the piece of work he came home with when they "studied" the family unit.. None of the parents seemed to be able to figure out what our kids were learning.
LONG STORY SHORT, this went on for about 2-3 weeks and it went on for not only my child but plenty of others. Berik had stopped wanting to use the potty and was telling me, no school mommy, no school. Crying as I had to try to get him to go in. Stories and complaints begin to pour in to the director, until they finally moved her.THANK GOD, as it was either us.. or her. She was moved, disciplined and explained the rules and now she only has contact with younger kids from noon-five and since the sleep until 2:30 she only has them for 2.5 hours.

She feels this connection with me because she adopted a Child Protective services kid after supposedly fostering 28 children first. Her story, don't fully believe all of it. She does have a kid though. She takes pictures of Berik and others on the playground, just because and then tells me she did and will give me the pics. No thanks I have enough and stop taking them of my kid. She singles him out to say bye to at the end of the day and doesn't bother the other kids of parents.

She said something fly to Jaimie about him not teaching Berik manners and he called her on it. Jaimie and her had it out and now she doesn't speak to us anymore. I bet that was good, sorry I missed it. So besides the fact the we still have to see her she pretty much stears clear of us.

He loves!!!!! his new teacher, Ms. Erikka and the class is going well now and artwork is picking up, see for yourself. I think this must be the unit on weather with the clouds and lightning and an apple. I bet he had fun shredding up the paper to make it! We took a trip to see my brother and his family and they live about 4 hours from here. As we were riding along on the freeway this maniac came barreling on the freeway and I thought he was going to hit us so I said, Sh?t, and then so did Berik! Great his very first curse word and it came after me, not daddy. Huge surprise. Jaimie didn't let me live it down the whole weekend, which wasn't a surprise. Also while in the car we were listening to childrens songs, specifically , The Wheels on the Bus. When it got to the wipers on the bus go swish, swish, swish, Jaimie decided to turn on the wipers with the water to enhance the song. Instead, Berik stopped mid sentence and said, "it's raining"! We thought that was really funny!! The kinds of money we could make if we only had a video camera going 24/7.

Check him out, pretending to look through a lego type piece. He says they are his binoculars and he tells me what he sees. It's pretty neat to see what he comes up with. It usually revolves around Dora and Diego.

And he is most proficient about drinking all the milk out of the bowl after his cereal. He is really growing up in a hurry!

About the only other thing that we did this month was go to the duck pond/park. Berik didn't want to have anything to do with the ducks at all! I even brought bread and still not a thing! He played with every stick and dirt that was there and ran and ran to his hearts content! I guess he had enough when he stuck his hand up to me and said, "Momma, no camera!"

I guess he is sick to death of pics but I still took some although he posed for none and managed to get some good ones. See for yourself..Well for now that's all and furthermore the computer has decided to do this silly underlining thing and I can't get it to stop. Some blogger malfunction I suppose. Until Oct's post, take care. Gena
