Growing Up Is Hard To Do


Kylie had a rough day at pre-school today. It was pass off day today and when it was her turn to pass things off with her teacher she froze. Her teacher said it was all stuff she knows, but she just wouldn't say them for her. Kylie certainly isn't a shy girl, but her teacher says she has a hard time expressing herself. I am not really sure why. Maybe it's a lack of confidence. I know when I work with her at home sometimes she won't even attempt to try. She just tells me she can't do it and that's it. I asked her teacher what we can do to help her and she says just continue to work with her and really over-exaggerate when we praise her so she feels really good when she gets it right. Kylie and I had a good long chat when we got home today and she felt really bad she didn't try harder. She felt even worse she didn't get the treat that went along with passing her stuff off. Maybe that will motivation enough next time to try harder. It's tough growing up and being a big girl sometimes!

Oh, That reminds me of kylie's mother at that age, she didn't like to report or be tested either. Kylie needs a nice big Ice Cream Cone. That will teach her another important life lesson: Ice Cream can cure anything!!

We love you Kylie!!
