We were off to see the boys’ teachers this evening. We almost missed Charles’ time because he had misplaced the paper with the date and time. Luckily Mom found it just an hour before we were scheduled to arrive.
Charles had a friend, Mason, over. We rushed over to Mason’s house but his parents weren’t there. So we took him along to the meeting with Charles’ teacher. It turned out that Mason’s parents had the previous appointment so we were able to transfer him back there.
Afterwards we went to the school book fair which is held during meeting times. Charles wanted to buy a picture book that was for starting readers. We wouldn’t let him because he should be reading more advanced material. Charles responded by pretending to cry about it. He faked that so well that he ended up crying for real all the way home. Alice said he was annoying. I tried to point out how this might apply to Alice when she was crying but I don’t think the concept penetrated.
I took the little ones home while Mom met with Corwin’s teacher. Maybe she’ll drop a comment on how that went.
Charles eventually checked the book out at the local library. Charles said he liked the book a lot.
