Tonite was Sydney's first open house at her school. I was rather excited about this because there are days that I feel so out of the loop with what Syd is doing. If you have kids, you know that they dont tell you everything even if they do talk non-stop. I was hoping that by going to this I could see what she does during the day as well as find a way to stay in contact with her teacher.
While we were in her classroom listening to her teacher explaining what they do, she asked if anyone had any questions and Sydney raised her hand. I was anticipating that she might ask her teacher to talk about something great she did in class. Much to my surprise, she caught me off guard. She says, " I wanted you to ask my mom what she did." I looked at her and said, "what?"
She looked at me and said, "what do you do mom?" I had no idea what she was talking about. She then said, " What do you not do, mom?" My mom does Not sing me to sleep at night." So, there I was stunned, blushing and the room of parents was laughing at her comment of what I, as a mother did not do. It was too much.
We then got to meet her best friend Lisi that she has had since school has started to then find out that she lives down the street from us so now we know where she lives.
We got a tour of where the gym, library and music room were and as the open house came to an end and Sydney walked her sassy self out of the classroom, I managed to get an email address of her teacher so I could be kept more in the loop other than through my 5 year old. It was an interesting evening :)

That's too funny Kirstan! I'm impressed she was bold enough to raise her hand and say something in front of the whole class;) Madison would never do that.
Oh my goodness! That is so funny! I teach First Grade, so I hear things like that fairly often. Of course, these things cannot be taken personally (which is, of course, impossible. I am aware of and embrace the irony of that :). Isn't it funny and difficult and painful and wonderful how self-aware and bold kids are? You gotta love 'em, even if they aren't yours!
