Miss Boo was moved up a grade. I know, it’s controversial. Ooh ahh, everyone has an opinion.  When the lady who heads the gifted program, the woman who teaches the kid, and the principal of the school all agree it’s what’s best for the child, you put all those black and white parenting rules aside. It’s a gray area and in Boo’s case, it’s a lot of gray matter that needed more stimulation.

I was a nervous wreck. Boo went from bringing home coloring pages to pages filled with words to study for her spelling test. And math. Which is when my brain shuts off and I want to work on coloring pages. I tell Matt he cannot die because who would help the girls with their math homework?

Boo is now excited about school. She comes home telling me about nouns and verbs and silent e’s and reading anything you put in front of her. Her teacher said Boo is so smart and catches on quickly and we really did do the right thing.

So shew! Another intense parenting decision made for the greater good of the kid. A kid who is now crossing over to THE SMART SIDE.  JunaBug following shortly. And Avie? She’s currently dancing naked around the room singing about butterflies.

THAT I understand.
