Grandkids

 Christopher is at it again,  He was here wed evening for a couple of hours. He was sneezing and coughing once in a while. I ask if he had a cold.he told me no, then proceded to tell me that he was not cold. I explained  about a cold. He then walked to me rubbing his arms. "Nana, I can't have a cold when my arms are hot." discussed a 'cold'. He told his dad later that he had a cold even if my arms are hot. Nana told him that.
Christopher informed me he needed another of the new Thomas  movie. I said he had one at home and didn't need a second one.  "But Nana you need the movie at your house so you can watch it with me when I come to your house".  He  has an answer to everything

As you know when I get one something  I get some thing  for the other.  Well last week Christopher got his new Thomas movie. Savannah and I discused what she would get.   We talked about toys, naaaa, movie same reaction  How about a new dress  for church.She liked that Idea. So her mom, Savannah and I went shopping today. She is no longer in the little girls section for size. She and Kim picked out several  dresses to try on. She had to model them for me. One dress a beautiful blue looked good on her  BUT by the end of  October it would not fit. She said it was too tight and not very modest. Had 4 more dresses.to try  on the one she really liked did not have her size.  They looked some more, found a long brown skirt with contrasting blouse and a brown long scarf. Oh how she modeled that one, flipping the skirt as she walked.  Mommie got  her  a 2nd blouse to go  with it. As I said  she  is in the 8 to 14 sizes, sticker shock. cost as much or more than mine. But she loved them that is what counts.

Christopher took his first "Accelerated Reading" test yesterday on a library book he chose. (They are not slated to start that program until 1st grade and we aren't even to the first grading period in Kindergarten. And he's reading well into 1st grade level books) He got a 100% on it. This is not where we had read the book to him and he just remembered the content HE is reading the books and understanding what he reads!!!

Thomas the Train

 Christopher always knows when a new Thomas the Train  movie is due to be released. He checks the web site and watches the newspaper ads.  Well Blue Mountain something was released yesterday.  And as usual I had gotten it for him. BUT He had a rough day at school.  He is having a terrible time not blurting out the answers for any questions ask. Yesterday he was at the bottom of the color chart they have for behavior.  I had picked up the movie so gave  it to Kim  for when he was doing better. Well this afternoon my phone rang and it was Christopher inviting me to come watch the movie with him. He had had a good day. Had dropped a color but was able to bring it back up to acceptable.  I had to hurry fast to his house as Savannah was about done with her homework then he could watch the movie.
He is in an accelerated reading class. He tested in reading at k/9m to 1st grade/9mo. Today he read at above grade level.  He reads constantly.  Sounds out the words he doesn't know. Most are right.Tho

When I get one something I always get the other something of equal value (or close). Savannah and I had talked about getting a toy for her. We discussed that she had so many toys, last time we had trouble finding something she wanted.  She has had another growth spurt so most of her dresses are too short, only has a couple that fit her.  Primary program at church is this Sunday so she decided that she needed a new dress. So tomorrow after school and homework Kim will bring her  to go shopping for a dress. In 3rd grade and so picky about her clothes.  Has to be modest!!  Has to have sleeves, not show her belly and be long enough..

Christopher's latest

I miss all of  Christopher's quips since I do not take them or pick them up from school.
The 2nd day of school, parents were permitted to walk them to class. Kim was going to drop Christopher off in class Then go to Savannah's class to help with the "Fun Run" , school fund raiser.. When Kim told the gkids the routine for the morning. Christopher was very upset with 'mom'. To paraphrase(as I don't  remember the exact words) He informed his mom he knew how to get to his class  and did not need her to
take  him..

One day Christopher had vomited at school(happens every few months)(dr says it is his allergies). So he  went  home.  Lakin needed to go  to the Dr for  a sinus infection,  As  the Dr was getting ready to give Lakin a shot, Christopher piped up with "Are you going to give him a shot in his butt cheek?"  That doctor waits, when Christopher comes  to the  office to see what will be the 'gem' of the day.. OH he is now  back to trusting his doctor since he was not the  one  getting the shot.
