Baby weight and reading!

Hopefully my posts won't be so long from here on in! Maybe.

This morning was a bit of a struggle as X again declared he hated school and didn't want to get dressed! He claims they are not helping him learn to read. Well really, there's only so much you can do in a 3 hour school day with 20-odd 5 and 6 year olds! Especially when they are now incorporating daily recess to get them prepared for grade one. There's a funny joke in there about practicing recess rather than vowel sounds....

I just think X has had a little, well, a LOT of excitement recently and he's going to act out against school because that's safe. First we tell him I'm pregnant with one baby, then with two, then his "Charlotte Dodie" (my mother) arrives to stay on our couch while she looks for an apartment and now his daddy is away for a whole week! It's no wonder he was extremely random yesterday and a little emotional today.

While driving back home from dropping him off at school I caught the all-important celebrity news on the radio. Following celebrity news and looking at pictures on people.com is my guilty pleasure so I turned it up. The announcer opened with a story about Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon giving birth to twins over the weekend, one weighing 5lbs 6 oz, the other 5lbs 5oz. Then she exclaims how she can't imagine carrying that much baby-weight around! .....wait for it.... I'm doing the math... how many oz in a lb? X weighed that much! By himself! Oh my giddy aunt.
