*Chores accomplished in the 11 days of Keira’s Summer Break:
1 Floor washed.
Several loads of laundry that took 3 to 4 days to complete.
I may have done the dishes.
*Chores accomplished in the 5 hours Keira was in Preschool today:
Post office
Walmart
Steam cleaned kitchen floor, dinning room floor, living room floor, hallway floor.
2 loads of wash folded and put away.
Dishwasher emptied.
Keira’s bedroom cleaned, toys sorted and packed for donations.
House straightened.
*15 minutes after Keira arrives home from Preschool – there is no evidence of what I’ve accomplished today.

My husband tells stories of his big sister tormenting him through school, but after watching Keira (who is much like her father) tease her big sister, I’m wondering home much of that torment wasn’t well deserved.
Me Keira what are you doing Keira Lookating
Me: Keira. what are you doing?
Keira: Lookating!

“Feelings like disappointment embarrassment irritation resentment anger jealousy…
“Feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.” ~Pema Chodron

I hate humid weather, but Keira literally can’t tolerate it.
She’s already laying on the floor panting and gasping. Poor kid, she doesn‘t understand she‘s not dying.

Keira is exhausting. Not because she misbehaves, but because she Constantly wants to be given a task, complete that task and get praise. One would think that would be great “Go clean your room” Right?
No such luck. Cleaning her room goes like this “Keira, pick up that yellow lego block“ pause “put the yellow lego block in this bin” pause “Good Girl Keira! Very Good Job!” “Keira, pick up that red lego block“ pause “put the red lego block in this bin” pause “Good Girl Keira! Very Good Job!” “Keira, pick up that blue lego block“ pause “put the blue lego block in this bin” pause “Good Girl Keira! Very Good Job!”
And that continues for EVERY SINGLE item that must be put away.
Do you know how many lego blocks this child has?!?!?!
Trying to constantly find tasks for her that keep her occupied at the same time is the challenge. She’s only going to pick up so many lego blocks before she’s ready to move onto something else! lol

Keira walked up to me with the box and said “Breakfast yummy food Chex”
The PLAN was burgers for dinner, but Riley realized that Chex was gluten free (also seems to be diary free) Somehow Chex became dinner!
I just realized we’re taking the wrong approach…
I just realized we’re taking the wrong approach to Keira’s learning.
They are teaching her to cut with scissors before they teach her right from wrong or in this case, what she can and cannot cut. Today she tried to cut the power cord to the fan while it was running.
They are teaching her the write before they teach her what she can and cannot put in her mouth. She eats crayons and colored pencils.
It’s the wrong order.
Just like Keira learned to spell before she could communicate. They are using her gifts to try to teach her how to communicate, when I think we need to forget about her gifts and use how children learn normally.
Keira has to learn how to communicate first, understand the words that are spoken to her and come back with answers. We’ve been putting the cart before the house.

Having difficulty understanding Riley’s report card.
It seems children aren’t graded on what they have actually learned, but on what they don’t know. Children get a higher grade if they don’t understand, but ask questions.
I think I should be worried that Riley got a positive report card! lol
