He says, "Mrs. Friedman, it's Dr. Frietag. Peyton and Jack are fine, I'm just calling because Jack received a blue slip today."
Jack and a friend were in the bathroom and made a ball out of a paper towel and flipped the hand dryer upside down, stuck in the paper towel and turned it on to see if it would blow the paper towel out. OK, so a little science experiment isn't quite the best bathroom behavior.... Could be worse, I suppose. Of all my kids tho, Jack is the first one to get a blue slip?!!?!
When I picked Jack up from school I did not tell him that I knew. He was pretty quiet on the way home and then as soon as we got home he put his book bag down, dug it out and handed it to me. As he handed it to me he said, "sorry mom."
We talked about it, he was sad, and then I asked him what he thought he should do to fix it. He thought he should write an apology, so he did. He then went outside by himself and cried on the deck. At this point is it bad that I got sad for him??
When his dad got home he had to tell him and Mike asked him what his punishment should be. He said he thought he should miss dessert for a week.
I think it's safe to say that he won't be being silly in the bathroom for quite some time.
I emailed his teacher and apologized for Jack's behavior and told her I didn't think she'd have to worry about that behavior again in the future. She agreed. She said, "it was so hard seeing him so sad."
Well, we got that mile stone out of the way.....
Guilty and sad
Writing his apology
Official signature on the slip
Is that not the saddest thing you've ever seen?!?!
