Merry Christmas!

I guess sometimes when things are going well, we think everything is fine. I got to where I thought Atticus was like all other children. I was head of the Christmas party for his classroom and realized that Atticus is not like the other children. He repeats everything. He usually does not come up with his own sayings. Unfortunately one of the characters he loves to imitate is SPONGE BOB SQUAREPANTS. Not one of the best role-models. I've stopped spanking. Something I did not want to do anyway, but it just makes my kids think they can hit each other. Molly is not getting any attention because she is sooooo smart and so ahead of the game, while Atticus gets all the attention because he is louder and more needy. Molly is so independent now. One good thing to come of all this. Atticus is different, I know that. I just want to do the best for him. I love our school, I just don't think we can afford it.
