Daddy to you to Barnes & Noble and when you got home with your new books, you tore through six chapters of "Night of the Ninja."

This isn't yesterday - this is today. Today you participated in your first karate tournament. First was forms and then was sparring. Though I think you did well enough to earn a silver medal, you came in fourth out of about fifteen. In sparring you made it past the first round, but then got beat. For all the times we tell you at home to NOT be so aggressive, it appears that you're applying that lesson in the wrong arena. Literally. You handled the disappoint really really well, telling me that you held in your tears until you got outside and even then you held it together. I can tell you were disappointed, but you appear to be over it at this point. I, however, am heartbroken for you, and am taking this helicopter parent lesson to heart.

You lost your first tooth! You went to bed and then came out 30 minutes later and said, "uh, guys? I lost my tooth." The tooth fairy came and left you $10.

You got in trouble for talking too much in class, two days in a row, so you lost your recess privileges and Mrs. Thomas sent a note home for Mommy and Daddy to sign. :(

You told me that Nora told you that she has a crush on you. You responded by telling her that you don't have a crush on her. She said you're mean. You said you're honest.

Your sister started calling you "Peetie" which you don't always recognize as her calling you. She gets frustrated, but once you do acknowledge her calling you, you play so nicely together.
