Heh, I met the mother of one of our new (college) students yesterday. The mother is six months pregnant. :shock:

Nope.

At that age, it's more for your wife than it is for your kid.

I'm not suggesting you talk her out of it, I'm just suggesting you rethink your approach. This is for your wife... to make her happy. Happy wife, happy life.

Teacher assignments are posted online tomorrow afternoon. I've heard that there will be three 1st grade classes this year, so the chances that my daughter and her best friend are in the same class goes down a bit.

My wife is trailing ABC Mouse for my daughter to see if she likes it and such. You earn tickets for completing different things, like watching videos, and you can use these tickets to do stuff like purchase different outfits for your character. So I’m watching her play a video and I see her scroll to the end of the video. This **** kid is already gaming the system. :lol:

Haha, yeah our daughter has been starting to skip forward when she uses Netflix. We pretty much have a zero tolerance policy on it now.

Our daughter wants to do Girl Scouts so we have been in touch with the Troop Leader down here in eastern Lancaster County. As it turns out, the troop leader was a classmate of mine going back to 4th grade...she got married and moved down here too. I always love those random connections after so many years.

Reminds me of one... my first year teaching in North Carolina I had a student whose mom was my middle school guidance counselor in Vermont.

Haha, yes Tom Sturgis pretzels are fantastic. Have you ever been to the factory store in Reading?

Lil mac with his... Billionth ear infection. Tubes scheduled. Feel bad for him but everything I've heard is it's literally nothing to the kids and provides them so much relief.

It’s a pretty routine procedure, and very common nowadays.

Yeah, my Facebook feed features tubes/adenoids procedures all the time. My kids both had them both, my younger son had them in twice.

It’s about as routine as it comes, but it is jarring to see your toddler roll off to surgery.

Both my kids were back to running around - i.e. normal behavior - about two hours after surgery.

My kids are weird.

None of them ever had had any issues with ear infections, tonsils, etc...

I don't know how that happened.

You're just deferring all of the illnesses so that it hits them harder later on.

I never had trouble with things like that either. Still have my tonsils, never had ear or sinus infections. I still hardly ever get sick - maybe once a year.

I hardly ever got ear infections. My wife did all the time. Our kid is middle of the road. Just one of those things I guess.

I used to get strep throat 1-2 times a year, but still have my tonsils. My dad was against tonsillectomies unless the tonsil actually abscesses. He would always tell me, “You’ll out grow strep throat eventually.”

Now that she is out of her early learning center and into kindergarten, I was preparing myself for a striking difference between my daughter's development, and some of the other kids in her class, but wow. Let's just say you can tell the kids that probably are allowed to drink Mountain Dew and watch ten hours of television a day. I know that sounds snobby but you can definitely see the importance of nurturing in the first five years of a child's life.
