Student Teaching at Jefferson

Today was my first day student teaching at Jefferson elementary school. The summer session will last 4 weeks until July 14 I believe. I am in a SDC class with 9 students. Today was an uneventful day. The teacher went over rules and procedures.

Laker's Playoffs and a New Basketball Fan?

I was watching the NBA finals-Lakers and the Celtics. My wife and children do not have watching basketball as their number one priority. I usually end up watching basketball games by myself or go to my father-in-law's house. He has a big screen tv and it is fun watching games with him.
The other day a basketball game was about to begin and my daughter Emma said, "I will watch Hoosiers with you in honor of the actor that died". Normally, I would take her up on her offer but come on, it's playoff time. I know she will never be willing to offer to watch Hoosiers again. Hoosiers is my all time favorite movie.
I might have a new basketball fan in my family. When I was about to turn the Laker-Celtic baksetball game on, Jane said, "Lakers- I am so excited!" At one point, she was in the living room and shaking pom-poms chanting "Go Lakers, let's go Lakers." I am so excited that there is another Laker fan even though she is only two!

Happy Anniversary

Yesterday, it was was mine and my wife's 11th wedding anniversary. My wife thought it would be nice to celebrate our 11th by changing our children's sleeping arrangements. Moving a heavy bed, taking apart a crib, and moving other bedroom accessories. Sounds like a fun evening!

First we moved Eliza's bed into her older sister's bedroom. This did not make Emma very happy. Even though she did not want this move to happen, I think she secretly wanted Eliza back in her bedroom. In recent days, Eliza and Emma have slept in the same bedroom anyway. Eliza says "I want to sleep with Emma" and "I do not like to sleep by myself". Emma says NO! and Eliza cries (and hits Emma sometimes). Emma ends up letting her sister sleep in her room. Now offically, they are back in the same room.

Now, it was time to take apart Jane's crib and put her in Eliza's former room. This is what I heard form Jane during this process..."What's happening? Daddy is mean! NO DADDY!" It was not even my idea and Jane blamed it on me.

A day later, we did celebrate our 11th anniversary by going out to eat and watching the A-Team movie. I remember watching this tv show when I was a kid. This movie did not disappoint me. The movie was full of action. Two Thumbs Up!
