Stupid

Today was my first parents evening in FS2, my Teacher told mummy and daddy how she was really impressed with me as I help my friends in class and who I have been paired with someone for phonics and that I've been really good as I have not just been given her the answers but that I make her think for herself. She also told them about something which she overheard today ... She said that she was about to step in but she didn't need to as I dealt with it :-)

A classmate said to one of my friends - "Your stupid"
Neo - "How would you feel, if I called you stupid?"
Classmate - "I would feel sad"
Classmate to my friend - "Sorry for calling you stupid"

Clumsy mummy

So at 4am this morning Mummy woke up in the middle of the night, got up to check on Diesel and on the way back into bed slipped and smashed her head on the corner of the bedside table, splitting it open which meant I had to get up and go to hospital so it could be stitched back together. Whilst Iwe were there she needed the toilet, so I had to go with her to make sure she was ok

Neo - "Mummy leave the door unlocked I won't let anyone in, when your in there you need to keep talking to me ... actually you should sing 'baa baa black sheep' then I'll know if you've fallen asleep"
