So Alex, my four year old, is into pink. This is nothing new; he's been into pink for a couple years now. A couple days ago we went to the shoe store to find his brother and him some new sandals for the summer. I'm sure you're seeing where this is going. That's right, he picked out the hot pink jelly sandals. Now it's not that I have a problem with him liking the color pink. On the contrary, I've never been one to believe that girls need to be pigeon holed into pink and boys to blue. But despite that belief, I couldn't in good conscience let him wear pink jelly shoes. A shirt is one thing, but a pair of shoes is a whole 'nother ball of wax. You gotta love him. I know I do.
On another note, AAARRRRGGGHHH. Ok, that felt better. I'm so frustrated with Nick's school situation. I know I've posted about this before, but I just need to get it off my chest again. We have been called in for another conference to the school. I know the teacher feels he has ADD. I'm not saying he that he for sure doesn't, but I'm also not going to just jump on the medication band wagon because he's having issues at school. I need more evidence. It's especially disconcerting to me because he's only seemed to develop all these issues since he's started to go to school here. I sometimes wonder if it's more the school and the teacher than it is the kid. Are we pushing him to behave this way? Or did we just not see it in preschool because it's a smaller class and a more warm and fuzzy environment? All I know is that I need to get some answers soon. It's affecting all of us and I'm about at my wits end with all of it. Ok, back to regularly scheduled programming.
