Casanova’s boo inspires some very strong reactions in the hearts of the baby gentlemen that abound in my class. She is frequently unwittingly at the centre of many many disagreements and chases. I have personally witnessed Casanova put a letter in her classroom mailbox every single day since December 1st. I will catch this sly move on video at some point I promise.
Last week, a new beau on the scene decided to come to her rescue after I asked her to collect her classmates’ pencils. One of her other admirers would. not. give her the pencil as asked. New beau, hereafter referred to as Sylvester Stallone, witnessed this exchange and decided absolutely no one could treat Baby that way. If this were a movie, he would’ve, came close to, oh how I wish this had actually happened, shouted NOBODY PUTS BABY IN A CORNER.
Instead of making my dreams come true, he went Sylvester Stallone style on the other boy and grabbed reached for his throat. When I say he went Sylvester Stallone what I really mean is that he literally flew across the classroom. I’m not sure if his feet ever actually touched the floor in his quest for justice.
This is my reality.
I cannot speak as to his intent. I can however say that Stallone is much quicker than I am and I need to work on my reaction times. Also please dear God give me the ability to witness these situations one half a second faster than they actually happen so that I can either get a good seat and grab some popcorn or be there to put the kibosh on them and LAY DOWN KINDERGARTEN LAW.
Baby? She just went right along with her bidzness.
China is aging me.
All my little elves ‘hard at work’.
Tell me you have seen this video.
Be moved by the Joy and Hope of Christmas this year.
Be changed by the straight glory of God.

Merry Merry Christmas Joey and Anaisabel! We miss you, XXOO Mom Pat
Ana, maybe you should not think that China is aging you but that China is helping you grow. I think you and Joey are brave and adventurous and are learning so much about the world and I’m proud of you both. You are amazing.
Haha thanks Elisabeth. When I said China is aging me I meant more along the lines of the wrinkles on my face that are named after each one of my kids. Some of my kids also have grey hairs named after them. All in the name of the game!
