self control
3/13/14
of the 57 things terren gets "graded" for in kindergarten, she had one "needs improvement" from her previous parent/teacher conference in november. it was for "self control." we asked the teacher to give us examples so we could help her at home. she told us that terren interrupts a lot w/o raising her hand (sounds like our daughter) and as a specific example, the teacher told us that she will be teaching them something and terren will say in chinese, "that's so easy!" and then a bunch of other kids will join in. we realized, "oh she's THAT kid." we privately think it's kinda hilarious but publicly we have coached her a lot. we were happy to get the report that she is much improved from her needs improvement.
terren is struggling to curb a nail biting habit as well. we told her she gets 3 wishes of anything she wants if she stops biting her nails. today, she told us her 3 wishes were the following:
1) i want to watch frozen, the movie or the show
2) i want more time to play outside with may may
3) i want to clean the house together.
really, did she just say number 3?!? she did….but then pretty quickly said, "no, no, i want to change cleaning the house…i want to watch NEIIIILLLL ARMSTROOOOONNNG." she loves watching him land on the moon. i think we can grant that wish.
terren actually took a good school photo so we couldn't resist buying them.
