Toilet Girl strikes again! Apparently, Micah has a hard time remembering to flush the toilet when he pees, and to shut the bathroom door when he leaves. And Lily has a hard time remembering to NOT play in the toilet. This time I got a picture. Gross. But I guarantee you this picture WILL be pulled out and shown to her boyfriends...
In other news, Emmalee received a Tootin' Hills Character Conductor's Club ticket last week! Teachers at her school are always on the lookout for kids who are demonstrating respect, responsibility, integrity, and/or caring. Mr. Morency, a 6th grade teacher, and also one of the staff from the Cinderella summer theatre camp that Emmalee participated in, spotted Emmalee in the hallway and ticketed her! A staff member called me at home to tell me Emmalee had received this ticket, which I think is a nice touch. When I asked what Em had done, she told me that Emmalee is always very kind and friendly to all of the teachers. When the kids are ticketed, their names are put on a big poster in the hallway near the entrance to the school, and they get special recognition from the office and principal.
Last night I took Emmalee and her friend Quinn to see the Simsbury Theatre production of Annie - the musical Emmalee auditioned for over the summer. Wow - what a great job everyone did! I was very impressed, and Emmalee and Quinn loved the show! The playbill listed all of the actors and each one had a little "blurb" written about them. None of the orphans were under 11 years old, so Emmalee didn't feel so bad that she hadn't gotten a part. After the show Quinn came back to our house and spent the night - thankfully, the girls were wiped out from the show and actually went right to sleep!
Micah went to a birthday party today - his friend Matthew turned 4 and had a party at a center in West Hartford called My Gym. The kids played on trampolines, a zip line, a ball pit, and all kind of other fun, physical, wear-you-out stuff! Micah has been having bloody noses again over the last couple of days. He got one on the drive home from the party, and didn't tell me. I noticed he had gotten really quiet and thought he had fallen asleep, so I look in the rearview mirror, and he looked like a character from a horror movie! Blood dripping down his face, off his chin, all over his mouth, down the front of his shirt. Nice. I pull over and jump into the backseat with a bunch of napkins - there was blood everywhere. He had been sniffing, and it had gone down his throat and into his mouth, so there was blood all over his teeth and tongue. It was really disgusting.
Someone is crying - gotta go!
