Gardner Village With Prego & the Girls

Today I went to Gardner Village with my pregnant sister Ruthie & my nieces Aimee & Britt.

(I have to call her prego sister now cause it's almost time for that baby to be born ya know.) Aimee brought the always stunning Cole & he was sooo cute. I got to hold him a lot & he was so happy & smiley! As you can see I have no pictures...I forgot my camera~ dang!

So I am posting a little picture of a postcard I bought for my favorite old friend steph. I just love to send her funny cards because I can picture her in my mind laughing & I know how much she appreciates funny things.

My friend Jill is back from having her Internet down for seven days. I thought two was bad~ I would truly go crazy. Her link is to the right. She is amazingly thoughtful & has tons of great friends. I feel like I learn a lot about friendship & service reading her blog. She is very inspiring to me. One of those kind of people you wish lived in your neighborhood!

This afternoon Trent brought home a note from his teacher.

this is what it said-

"Your child's behavior was inappropriate today

Trent hit _____ on the head, took his shirt and pulled it, then put his face in ____'s face and talked loudly to him. Trent said the reason was because he didn't get any sleep last night and that he was too hyper. (while talking Trent wiggled around & flapped his hands & arms- lol) I asked him if he was able to run around at lunch recess to see if that helped him with his wiggles. He said it didn't really . I visited with him about school & class rules of keeping hands, feet & other objects to himself. He said he knew the rules. I told him that when you break a rule like this you need to pay 5 minutes of recess and write sentences. He said- OK, I will. Please visit with him."

I was completely at a loss. I read the note to him except for the LOL part- and asked him what the heck happened. First he said it was private then he admitted the kid in front of him in the lunch line- the one he "hit"- wouldn't go & was bugging him so he pushed him. He has NEVER hit or done something like this before.

What to do ... what to do...

I figured the sentences & 5 minutes of recess were enough & reminded him to never do that again. I have never known Trent to ever be aggressive, I really think he was just messing around & it went too far. For now I will leave it at that. I am meeting with his teacher on Monday about other things so I will get the details I'm sure. She is really fun but she is strict and she never disciplines without letting the parent know- thus the note. I don't think in my 20 years of parenting any of my kids have ever brought something like this home before. They miss behaved sure- just never got caught, I guess.
