We heard that Karsten's class had a second quiet time yesterday since they weren't listening very well, so during dinner we were asking Karsten if he does a good job of listening to Mrs. G and following directions.  He said that he did and he really didn't want us to ask her - hmmm, sounds suspicious, don't you think?

About 5 minutes later, he said (with a quivering lip) 'I was a little bit bad today.' Then he told us a story about how one of his friends threw soap at him in the bathroom, so he threw soap at him and another boy.  He was almost in tears when he told us that his teacher said she was disappointed in him.  He said he needed to take soap to school tomorrow, and we're not sure if she told him that or if he wanted to bring it.

So, Karsten and Scott ran up to Walgreens after dinner and bought some soap.  Karsten had to use one of his dollars to pay for the soap.  This was huge for him because he's just discovered that dollars can buy things like Legos.  Then when he got home, he had to write her an apology note.


We reiterated several times that we were proud of him for telling us. Hopefully he'll continue to tell us stuff like this.
