A Break from Joseph
Joseph yells from the basement, “Maddie! Where are you going? Come back!!”
“I have to go potty,” she answers, appearing at the top of the stairs.
She sits down on a stool at the counter.
“I thought you had to go potty,” I say.
“No, I don’t. I just wanted to come upstairs.”
From the basement, Joseph calls out, “Come back when you’re done, okay??”
“Ok!” She yells back, then looks at me. “C’you get me a lil’ snack?”
Jobs
Joseph’s teacher gives the kids weekly jobs. This week he is weather person. I asked what the best job is.
“Messenger. Because if you see something boring on the schedule, like Shared Reading, you can take the note to the office and walk slowly with your best friend in the hall.”
