Just as I'm musing over no longer feeling the motivation to write,
Jax up and gets himself sent to the
Principal's office at school today. Well, The
YMCA's Mother's Day Out version of the
Principal's office, which technically is the office of the lady in charge of child services at the Y, but you get the point.
His teacher is a lovely lady who taught Ryan in the program when she was 3, and lucky for us, she has a son a few years older than Ryan who was exactly like
Jax at his age. She's always saying how
happy she is to have the opportunity to teach him, and goes out of her way to paint any "incidents" with
Jax in the most rose-c
olored of ways.
Today, for instance, all she said at pick-up was, "We had to visit Miss Toni's office today, but afterwards he did
much better. His energy level was just a
little higher than normal today."
Which is like saying Rush Limbaugh is just a
little pompous. That's all. Just a
smidge.
Once in the hallway, I question
Jax as nonchalantly as possible, asking him if he got to go see Miss Toni today, and what, per chance, did they talk about? "Yeah," he responded. "I don't know."
"Okay, well can you tell me why you got to go to her office?"
"'Cause I was like jumping and jumping and jumping and then I jumped on the big blue thing and was like
ahahahahahaha." Oh. Okay. I can only assume that by the "big blue thing" he meant the big blue tube-slide, and that by going
ahahahaha, he meant jumping/scooting all the way down on top of it. Or something.
My questions were quickly dismissed as we were walking by the elderly grandmother of one of his classmates, and he said, "WHOA! She's OLD!"
"
Shhh," I scolded, bending down to his eye level. "It's not nice to talk about people like that,
Jax.""Okay," he reluctantly grumbled. Then, in the time it
took me to straighten myself up, he'd run over to her, grabbed her dress and yelled, "HEY! YOU'RE OLD!"
And I'm back to blogging. Good time, good times.
