Kids of EB

[snickerd3]

3 more weeks until school starts back up...the districts starts on a Thursday but minisnick starts the following day because they have orientation for the first year pre-k kids the day before.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Ours start on the 18th too.

Mini-ble will be starting kindergarten on the 18th as well. He turns 5 on Friday the 15th and starts school on Monday. I can't believe he's already going to be in elementary school. I was putting him to bed the other night and had a flash back to his baby days and couldn't believe how big he is getting. I asked him if he was always going to be my little boy and he said yes, even when I'm an adult! Man, they grow up way too fast.

August 26th here. I need to order our school supply kit.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

Our school provides all supplies. It's part of the yearly enrollment fees. That way the school or the parents don't get mad because someone over- or under-spent, there's no bickering over "community" supplies, everyone gets the same thing.

This is one of those cases where taking the kids to a charter school is a big advantage.

 

[snickerd3]

pre-k doesn't have a supply list but they take donations of tissue,baby wipes, paper towels, markers etc...

 

[matt267 PE]

Why don't kids come with SOPs?

 

[Road Guy]

Because eve was a BITCH!!!!!!!

 

[matt267 PE]

she should have stayed in the kitchen I guess.

My son got a mosquito bite near his eye. It's all swollen now and he can barely open it. Apparently, it looks a lot worse than it is but might have to take him to the doctor again today if it doesn't get better.

 

[matt267 PE]

oooo, that sucks. can't put anti-itch cream there.

 

[MetsFan]

Yeah, we put some calamine lotion on the side and it seemed to help. I'm waiting to see how it looks when he wakes up.

 

[Supe]

Junior starts second grade on the 25th. May try to fit in a mini-vacation to DC since we haven't done anything else this summer. You'd swear trying to take two days off around here is more difficult than ending world hunger.

Kid is signed up for tackle football. He's twice the size of other third graders...does that mean he gets to be QB, because he can throw over everyone and no one wants him tackling?

 

[snickerd3]

if he is quick on his feet he will likely play middle linebacker to tackle the QB

 

[MA_PE]

Around here, depending on how big he really is, they may not let him play. pop warner football has height/weight restrictions for the younger kids and they cater to the smaller/average kids. Pretty crazy as the bigger kids are the ones most likely to stay with the game.

I know of one town where they have a league without the restrictions.

I didn't have to deal with it first hand as my kids didn't play football. soccer, hockey, basketball, baseball..yes, but no football. They never asked and I was fine with that.

 

[csb]

This was something that happened while I was on the road for work...I didn't even realize it was happening. It's a city league and the only hiccup on his size so far was they were sure he was a fourth grader. Tonight is the first practice and parent meeting, so we'll have a better idea later.

 

[snickerd3]

our neighbors kids just started flag football, apparently the kid is super fast. once the ball is in his hands watch out...future wide receiver. Although if he is outside he is playing baseball....go figure
