For the second day in a row and about the 10th time since school started just a little over a month ago, Nathan (Kindergartener) has gotten reprimanded for talking too much. I am sure my mom will read this and get a chuckle, as I too remember being known for my blabbermouth. But, I don't think it started the second week in Kindergarten!
UGH! I am just so frustrated with the whole situation! We've punished him, given him consequences, and had many, many heart-to-hearts with him but are obviously not getting through. I know that it always happens during times of the day when the class is working on things like certain letters, shapes, etc., which is probably boring for him. But we've reiterated time and time again that he should still remain quiet and following the rules even if the teacher is discussing something he already knows.
Today he was caught at two separate times of the day talking too much to other classmates at inappropriate times. When I picked him up from school today and learned of what had happened (yet again) I was fuming. I fumed the entire ride to his violin lesson, all the while glaring at him through my rearview mirror.
And then there's wonderful William, my three year-old. As I am making my way through the door after taking Nathan to violin this afternoon (while carrying an arm-full of stuff) I see him run over to the bathroom and not five seconds later yell out, "I had an accident!". Not my idea of a relaxing evening – cleaning up my bathroom rugs and floor. Plus, what's really irritating is the fact that it was something that could have been avoided if he would freakin' listen to me when I say GO POTTY!!!
But, he was too busy playing sidewalk chalk.
Why do kids think they can hold their pee longer than is realistic? Seriously. As if I didn't get enough accomplished today that I needed to. Sheesh. ♥
