I always enjoyed it when I was teaching.

Little people don't know they shouldn't do certain things.

You are always doing things for other people!<br /><br />Little Buddy's room is so adorable and neat.

When Ireland was in pre-K I would get so frustrated with all of the comments from her teacher. It seemed like almost everyday Ireland's behavior would be an issue. Sometimes teachers seem to forget their age. One time the teacher told me "we don't act like that here" when Ireland had an issue with interrupting and talking too much. I went home in tears numerous times thinking I was a terrible mother with a behaviorally challenged child. I''me slowly learning to think differently.

It makes you a happier rested person, I'm sure.<br />You weave too! I looked at those tabletop looms last year with interest but I have so many things on the go I held myself in check. I love the weaving tough.<br />I always like to keep some fresh flora in the house too. Sometimes, I pick wildflowers or pick up stray branches in winter. I will buy for myself more often now too. It does cheer me.HollyMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161858859864895000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-90812445692115751992014-09-13T05:02:23.037-04:002014-09-13T05:02:23.037-04:00The trick is to keep breathing, Meredith!

I'm glad you have these moments. What a lovely room your little man has. Good luck with circle time, my littlest boy isn't keen on sitting still for long either. I watch him in school assembly sometimes, and I can see him ready to burst with energy. In fact now I think about it I'm no good at sitting still for very long either unless I have a little sewing or knitting. Wishing you guys a good weekend.
