Elisabeth just got her 1st math test back and got a 100%!!!!!! WHOOOO HOOOO!!!! She struggled with math last year but this year things seem to be coming together for her!!! She is also getting her homework done as soon as she gets home :) What a good middle-schooler!!
On the other hand, her little sister has been a bit on the naughty side. She finds small, innocent young children and slaps them silly. She must sense they can't fight back and then goes for the jugular. In about 15 minutes, she slapped, kicked, choked, pushed, and screamed at the next door neighbor's 1 year old. And NO punishment affects her in the least. I thought I had the key when I said "NO Caillou if you hurt DD" and when I followed through, she just shrugged her shoulders and went upstairs. Can you say "STRONG WILLED CHILD"??? Help me, Dr. PHIL!!!
I feel for you Catherine. My younger son was the same way. Thank goodness he grew out of that. Good luck!

Yeah Elisabeth! Good for you! You are so smart :) As for Isabella, she can attend one of those desert boot camps for "strong willed children" with her cousin Liam whose newest response is hands in the air and "whatever!" I love these guys!
