Chelsey

He is so sweet!
Chelsey went and put on one of Rileys shirts and came out saying "Hi, I'm Dad!"
This is Chelsey doing her homework.
She is writing her practice words
Ok, I know this a nudy picture, but she has a Barney computer that she has had since she was 2 and she was showing Keegan how to play with it, he now carries it all over the house and loves it, because it sings to him!
Corbin and Riley were playing catch, in the front room!!!!



My Chelsey has had a really hard time adjusting to first grade. The first 3 weeks of school there was a girl in her class that was picking on her and saying mean things. One day, Chelsey called me and said she was sick and she needed to come home. I went to the school to talk to her and make her stay, but instead, she started to cry in the office and made a little scene, so I brought her home because the secretary was looking at me weird as I was telling Chels to just stay because school was out in less than an hour. Then once she got home, she told me that Jordyn had said something to her that really upset her. Now, I never wanted to be the mom that is at the school complaining or fighting her childrens battles, but I couldn't have Chelsey not wanting to be at school because of a mean girl. So, I went and talked to her teacher and now the girl is not mean to her anymore! But, Chelsey still feels like she is picked on because she is the only one in the house that is gone all day. She thinks she is missing out on something, I'm not sure what, I try to tell her that it is boring at home, Keegan naps, Kaylix just eats and naps all day long, Corbin is gone half the day, then he has to come home and help me! I would rather be in school myself! I keep hoping with time, it will get easier for her!


She has started bringing home homework and loves to do it. She likes to pretend like she is the teacher and asks Corbin questions about her homework. He tries to answer her, but she never lets his answers be right! She always has to correct him somehow!


Anyways, she is the best big sister and the best helper, she really loves all her brothers and takes good care of them, even when I don't ask her too!
