OH, what are we going to do with her?

So, this morning was a bad morning for Melanie! When the morning bell rang she wouldn't go stand in line with her class. I knew right then that today was going to be a "not so good day". I reminded her of "our picture" and told her to look at that when she got sad. I tried everything I learned from my Early Childhood Education background. Let me just tell you, and I think you know...it is different when it's your own kid. Her teacher was wonderful and after prying her off me, won the battle and was able to get her in the classroom. Yes, she is one of those kids that would hit her preschool teacher and run out of the classroom to chase after me when I left her. So, you can imagine how scared I was. I stood there outside the door waiting for something to happen. Nothing ever did so again, Mrs. Harvey won! Yeah! So, as I was walking to the car, my friend Lindy (Brimhall) Pace stopped me and asked if I had heard what happened yesterday. I had no idea what she was talking about. She said that her daughter Danny (Mel's best bud) came home really upset yesterday and said that her and Melanie almost got sent to the Principal's office. Of-course, she was being a little over dramatic. So funny! She then began to tell Lindy about what had happened at recess yesterday. She said that her and Melanie were chasing a boy (the boy Melanie says she is going to marry) and his shoe came off. Melanie then grabbed the shoe and gave it to Danny and told her to throw it over the gate into the big yard, and she did. The yard duty lady then told their teacher and their teacher had a "little talk with them". OK, so is that the funniest thing ever? This is only the 2nd day of kindergarten! Nice, President Merrill's granddaughter and President Brimhall's granddaughter -- the first kids at Cypress to "almost" get sent to the Principal's office. Lindy then gave Danny a lesson on peer pressure and not getting carried away when chasing boys. SO, apparently my daughter is the devil! LOL!! Just kidding! But, really where does she get her personality from? I would have never done something like that. She is so crazy and having these two girls together in the same class is going to be very interesting. Wish us luck! By the way, Melanie ended up having a fantastic day today! She got three stars on three different assignments that were brought home, so she came home glowing. Good job Melanie! Now stop chasing little boys and taking their shoes!
