Guest Day

Last week was a little rough on school at our house.

Monday we decided for an exception to have a guest at our school. Our friend, Londyn joined us. We did printing and laminating. Then we played outside for everyone's activities. First we did some weeding. (That didn't go over so well. Londyn worked the hardest but kept asking if we could be done. Amy was flighty, and Noel was concerned her shoes would get dirty. Then we played on the swing set, with the baseball, on the trampoline, and on the baby swing.

Londyn wanted to go home partway through. Noel was sad because she wanted Londyn to come to her activity so she went to ask Londyn to come back.

Amy explains what happened next:
Londyn was jumping on the trampoline, and then she went home, but I got sad. It was boring because Londyn is my best friend, and she leaved.

(Amy's not really remembering the details right. I was hoping to blog about this before a week passed. Londyn was telling Amy to not look at her or follow her, and it hurt Amy's feelings. I was really proud of Amy for coming over then and talking to me about her feelings. She realized she had some choices and that she didn't have to play with Londyn right then if she didn't want to. After school the girls decided to see if they could play with Londyn at her grandma's. I think Amy realized that Londyn still may be mean, but she chose that. I was proud of her for thinking and expressing herself and consciously choosing.
