Anyway, this blog isn’t about me. It’s about the adventures of Xavier and so here they are for this week.
Tuesday, Xavier told me that Mr. S is the Alphabet speaker of the week added “Daddy, did you know that T comes after S? That’s crazy!”
Mr. S’s song is slow and goes sort of like this:
I’m Mr. ESSSS, I go to bed and I’m kind of scared
I’m Mr. ESSS, I get out of bed and get into my super box to get my super socks.
I’m Mr. ESSS, I turn into my Mr. S Super Socks.
I’m not really sure that’s how it goes but that’s how he relayed it to me.
Wednesday, was all about a “special” girly friend. Xavier told his mommy that him and ________ were at every center together, “I went to this center and she did too and I went to this one and she did too.”
Mommy said,”It sounds like she is following you around.”
X: “No, she picked first and then I went there.”
Mommy: “So you are following her around.”
X: “Why you say that?”
The conversation paused there and then picked up with Shannon telling me Later they were sitting in class, he is sitting behind her, she says, “I’m in love!”
Mommy “With who?” X in his sarcastic DUUUUHHHHHH!, tone: “Well, she turned around and I was the one sitting behind her."
Mommy: “What does that mean?”
X: “Well, you don’t want to hear this mommy.”
Mommy. “Of course, I want to hear about whatever you want to tell you about your day.”
X: “Wet me tell you in your ear… I fink she whispered ‘I wove you.’”
Mommy: “She must really like you.”
“Yeah” and his cheeks turned red.. Our child blushed for the first time!
Mommy: “Flirting with some trollop better not interfere with his education”
AND WHO EVER READS THIS IS NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE FUN OF HIM OR EVEN ASK HIM ABOUT IT!
To continue this crazy hectic week. It’s Thursday night and I once again not been able to really sit down with Xavier and find out about his day. When I tried he seemed whiney and didn’t want to talk to Daddy. So, Daddy left the room.
When I came back into the room, I catch the tale end of him telling a sad story. Apparently, today during his center work he picked the reading center. Well he had asked other kids if they knew how to read and they said yes. So Xavier tells his mommy that EVERYONE in the class can read. Well everyone except him and two other boys. And that because he can’t read he has “Lazy parents that never taught him to read.” I also over heard that he sat alone during centers work because he felt bad for not being able to read.hmmmmm…
We’ve read to the child since Shannon was eight weeks pregnant (They are supposed to develop ear buds that soon… or so I’m told).
Shannon relayed a story to me. On the way home he had asked her what music they listened to in music class. She had guessed Little Einstein's and he replied, “uh, nooooo mommy, that’s for toddlers!” He then asked her to guess what movie they watched, he said he’d give her hints. a hint about a monkey he had said “Don’t guess Curious George, cuz that’s what Mamaw already guessed” and another hint “he’s trying to get a lamp” gave it away to be Aladdin. When she questioned why the music teacher made them watch Aladdin he replied “I don’t know, cuz she just wanted us to watch Aladdin.”
Well that’s about it. I feel kind of crappy not being able to talk to him much about school this week and to find out that we are lazy parents.
