Later the same week...Mak had to write a note TO Mrs. Barton apologizing for taking things (lucky charms) of her desk without asking...it has lead to three emails back and forth about Makayla's behavior and is now ending in a parent/teacher meeting on the 29th. It's frustrating and funny at the same time. Frustrating because it's like "am i doing all i can do as a parent" and funny because everything coming out of Makayla's mouth is funny. It's hard to be upset when I know I was exactly the same when I was her age. She is getting in trouble for "being a distraction, constant talking/giggling." Maybe I should write Makayla a note...
My Dear Sweet Makayla,
I am so so sorry that you have so many of my genetic traits. I apologize for passing along my ability to totally daydream while a teacher is talking and also my ability to entertain my peers. I apologize for reading to you ... your large vocabulary is just getting you into trouble! I will try and behave myself more in the future..maybe it's not too late to rub off onto you. Let's work together to spare your teachers unnecessary gray hair. Unless it's warranted!
Love,
Mom

Love it that she is taking after you! Little sassy-sweet pants. I think you should read her the letter you wrote. She'd totally get a kick out of it.
love it!!!
