Yesterday was my little bulldozer's first day at school. It's so funny how we can have such meaningful conversations on her way to school and yet they are taken completely out of context. She is so head-strong and driven in all aspects of her life that it is scary sometimes. We talked about being a leader and a good influence on our way to school. I told her it's important that she makes her own decisions, and good decisions that would make God, her parents and her teach proud. Part of beign a leader was making the right choices based on those people and not the other kids in the class, and not going along with the group all the time(especially when the group is doing something that isn't right!)
Well, yesterday they had a chance to go to several of their resource times like art, music, P.E. and others. As they travelled they had to have a line leader, well guess what. Little P.J. told her teach she needed to be the leader, because her daddy told her to be a leader. How funny! She was very pushy about being the line-leader to each place they went to and her teacher had to tell her to share the line leading with other students. She didn't understand why she wasn't being the leader, funny, funny funny! She took everything I told her and applied it to the wrong situation, aren't kids awesome!
Well, I went on to work, go through the day and wondered how she was doing. She got home and told me it was okay, but she didn't make many friends because there were only 4 other kids. She is excited about Thursday when all of her classmates will be there and she can make more friends. We talked about it some on the way to football practice out at PEdro last night. When we got to football practice I played catch with Alexa on the sideline while the guys were practicing and then I lost track of P.J. for a few minutes. When I turned back around she was riding the cart around with the water girls and she had them laughing hysterically(I'm afraid to even ask what she had said), but she again had walked up to a pack of strangers and made friends. Alexa went over, hopped on the cart and they helped the water girls put everything up after practice and now they want to go to practice with me every night!
Alexa even told one of the girls she was cool, and that if she didn't go to church she should come to church with her. Atta girl! So my associate pastor and visitation co-pilot is still at it doing her job.
That's about it for the excitement on our end of the road, hope you're having a great week, thanks for reading!
