Shame on me..

For not blogging more!! Hehe.. So much has happened where do I start.. hmm.. Jonathan update first: Matt and I were convinced that Jonathan is a genius (hehe) when yesterday he said a three word sentence!! Too cool!! He walked up to Matt, waved, and said "Hi Daddy up" lol. Does this count as a sentence? It was cute. He is learning new signs every day as well as words.. his new sign lately is "baby". There was a 18 mth old girl at the indoor park and Jon went up to her, waved, and gave her a big hug. What a ladies man. One problem I am having with Jon is his temper. When he gets angry he gets down on all fours and beats his forehead on the floor a few times, what the heck?! Just hard enough to hurt and then he cries harder. Yesterday he walked up to the wall and slammed his head into it.. he didnt like that much. I'm hoping this is a phase that will pass VERY quickly, I am ignoring his episodes so that hopefully they will disappear. Besides his self inflicted trauma he is a good kid and listens when I tell him "no" and stops what he is doing.

Alissa is still as sweet as ever. Lately I've been worried about her though. She is so mild tempered and.. well.. fragile.. that other kids tend to beat up on her. I just hurt for her when some other kids comes up and hits or pushes her, because she gets so upset. She looks at me and asks why the kid does this.. what do you say to a three year old? She doesn't understand why some kids are violent towards her unprovoked. Sigh.. 99% of the time it is lack of parental supervision and it makes me crazy. If you know your kid is prone to misbehave, why not WATCH them?! Grr.. I wanted to give one mom a piece of my mind at AC Gilbert house yesterday when her son (about 3 yrs old) came over and shoved Jonathan down for NO REASON and the mom did nothing!! Then the same kid pushed Alissa HARD out of his way on the slide so he could go first. WTH? Where was his mom?? Can you tell this is upsetting me?!! LOL.. its like I can't let me child play without me constantly by her side because of OTHER people unwilling to supervise their out of control children!!!!!!! OK.. rant over. Reason I bring this up, I have been discussing with Matt how badly I want to have her in private school because I fear that Alissa won't thrive in a public school. Not only do public schools spout a liberal agenda, but the classroom sized are too big and how can teachers supervise kids who are out of control and messing with my kid?? It is tough because I know I can't totally shelter her from the harshness of the world (although I would love to) but I want to soften the blow as much as possible. Would private school be the answer? I just don't know yet. I want her to go to a school where she can get an education without worrying about getting picked on. Anyways.. the debate goes on.. and can we afford it? YIKES.

Gotta run.. will update more later.
