From Bad To...

Oh My God Are You Kidding Me?

Yeah, that's how I feel lately. Things at the house are going CRAZY. LittleBit has gone from bad to worse. I would say it could get worse, but I don't think so...so it's gotta go up from here, right? Please tell me I'm right. Please.

School starts in about 2 weeks. She is going into kindergarten and my mom (the teacher) said that by the time she starts she should know the alphabet, count to 50, colors and basic shapes. Here is where it goes ALL wrong. She can count to 9. She doesn't know the alphabet..not the letters, not writing them, she cant even sing the song. Colors? Forget about it. I haven't even tested the shape thing.

The way her mom has raised her is pathetic. My daughter knows how to make scrambled eggs but doesn't know what color the egg is. I feel so sorry for her because school is going to be tough in the beginning. Tougher than I wanted it to be for her.

We bought some flash cards, books, and stuff to help...but she hates trying to do it. We bought a writing pad for her to pratice her name (BTW, what was the mom thinking when she gave her this name?!?!) she refuses to try.

So far today:
she broke 2 blinds in her bedroom
she threw the CD player in the floor
she kicked me
she kicked the dog
screamed
slammed the door

And she's only been up for 2 hours.

Does she like the cartoon characters on Nicklodeon? I had a har time with my oldest one not wanting to sit with me and pay attention to her flash cards, there were some show on Nick that she absolutely loved and I found some VHS that had those characters teaching the kids. It worked. That might be something to help. Good Luck!!

I'm a SAHM to 3 girls. We became foster parents in May 2006 in hopes of adoption. We love our girls and could never picture ourselves without them. Although life is much busier, we couldn't be any happier. Here's our story...
