Emily has gone nuts over cheese. It is her favorite food. If you even say the word, she stops what she is doing and says, "Yeah,Yeah,Yeah Yeah!!!" It is all she wants to eat. When I get the cheese out of the refridge, she screams in delight waving her arms and kicking her legs. As she eats her other food, she says "cheeeee, Cheeee,Cheee." She says it when she wakes up from naps and first thing in the morning. I guess I am the mean mother, because I don't give it to her everytime she asks. I want her to like and eat a variety of food. Well, Emily is still asleep this morning and guess what her first request will be when she wakes?
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now. Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago. We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun! No stress at all, as far as I can remember! I just played. I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year! Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons." WHAT? I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go? I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST. I guess that's a go
