12/29/11 - Being a school teacher? Not for me.

Haylee and I ran around town on some errands....Ross, Hobby Lobby, Kohls - you know, errands!  She amazes me because once we get into a store, she doesn't want to wear her hat and almost immediately takes it off.  I love that she's got a 'whatever' attitude about her hair loss.  Me, on the other hand, not so much.  I would be too self conscious to go without a hat.  That's just me though!  When we were in Kohls today there was a boy, a little younger than her, that made a comment about her hair.  Neither of us knew what he said but Haylee said, "I think he was talking about me."  I said, "What did he say?"  She said, "I don't know but I think he said something about my hair."  I said, "Does it bother you?"  She said, "No."  Then I made her laugh by asking if I needed to go kick him for it.  She said no about that, too.  (Hehe!)

I told Haylee since she was behind on her schoolwork that she could play with Savannah today if she did work before and after their playtime.  She agreed but she is so easily distracted that if I were her teacher, I would go INSANE!  I literally sat with her at the table for over an hour while she finished everything just to keep her focused.  I'm sure being in a school setting is much easier because everyone else is working too and there's not little brothers, dogs, and TV around...but still, I would go crazy trying to keep her focused.  Props to her teacher, Mrs. Williams, for keeping her focused! 

It was Line Cap Change Day so naturally, I was nervous and still am!  I'll be watching her like a hawk for the next 24-36 hours.  She hates it but it still scares me how easy it was for her lines to be infected.  I'm sure she'll be fine, but I'll be watching anyway!!
