Teacher Comments: Jack got a little upset because he
couldn't sit by Ryan (Davin sat there first). He went to the help chair
and we talked about it.
niknotes: I'm glad Jack wanted to sit by Ryan but
sorry he was so disappointed.
Jack hasn't exactly continued his happy-bus-boarding
streak from last week, but I think most likely he isn't feeling completely well
-- probably fighting off the germs that have made Mick sick. But Sean
has told him a joke for him to share with Ryan which Jack finds brilliantly
humorous and hopefully will help the bus-boarding tomorrow morning. [The
joke: Why does a dog bark? Because he can't say "Moo."] Also,
Jack is into birthdays, apparently, and I just happened to have photographed the
birthday poster in his classroom so I know that Mrs. Smith's birthday is
Thursday, and I think Jack will be happy to go to school then to wish her a
happy birthday.
Tonight Jack played with the little girl next door.
She's eleven years old but no taller than Jack. Her name is Brittany, and
she's adorable -- so grown up, my favorite example of which was her dispute
settlement between Jack and Dar a few days ago when they were arguing over
who's turn it was to throw a Frisbee and Brittany ran over and said, "Okay, pick
a number between one and ten!" One boy or the other lost his grip at
that moment and settled the dispute without intervention, but I just loved her
approach and her take-charge attitude. Anyway, she and Jack played
basketball in her driveway and then blew bubbles and then played some kind of
put-the-FrisbeeRing-around-your-head-so-you-look-like-the-planet-Saturn-and-spin-around-and-then-run
game. They were so hysterically adorable it was hard to watch.
Luckily, I had to go inside to check on garage-napping Mick. Sean stayed
out talking to Brittany's mom Kelly until time to come in, when he and Jack sat
down to watch some Twister on DVD!
