Our Kids

I keep writing posts in my head and I realize that does the blog no good especially since they never get posted. Of course now that I am writing a post all the good things I had to post about are gone. Alas I am aged:)

One thing I do remember is the treasure box at music class. I don’t like the treasure box at music class but it is there so we all must deal with it. The kids in the class have to follow a few rules and if they do then they get stickers that they can spend in the ho hum treasure box or they can save their stickers for the cool treasure box or the super duper treasure box. My dislike for the box stems from the fact that the girls are doing things for a ‘treasure’ and might be missing out on learning to love music instead but I digress. The story is about how Lela is saving all her stickers, 15 weeks of them for the super duper treasure box while Piper spends her weekly sticker allotment on the hohum treasure box. First Piper brought home candy, then I said no more candy and then she brought home a tattoo, which her school does not allow her to wear. So I won’t allow her to eat any candy and the school won’t allow the tattoo but when I ask her about it she says she just can’t help but get something from the treasure box. I can see that saving won’t be in Piper’s near future:)

When I told Piper she could not have any more candy from the treasure box the conversation went like this:

Me: Piper you can’t have any more candy from the treasure box, pick something else.
Piper: Ok
Me: Do I need to tell Teacher Annell?
Piper: No
Me: Ok I trust you not to get any more candy
Piper: Oh and I trust you
Me: You trust me to what? Not tell Teacher Annell?
Piper: Not tell Teacher Annell What?

Hmmm…..maybe we need to work on this:)
