The little syndrome

I couldn't think of any other title except for this one. As I was walking to the store with my charges this evening a spark of interest started to rise about one of them. i never really use their names but i am sure their pictures have been seen but many of you.. So one I shall remain nameless is the youngest of the two. He is a very different 6 year old with a very different approach to life. This child is brilliant in many different ways. As I have read in so many different books no one is truly dumb. We are all smart in our own ways. People use the word "DUMB" too freely and it actually bugs me a bit too...So instead of rambling on with multiple sentences I will set up this case by using bullet points. This child looks like he is six but wants to be younger than his actual age because his parents treat him like he is still a baby. (thats my choppy thesis....Needs work-I know...)
*He doesn't like to wear his normal sizes in clothes. He tends to wear a lot smaller clothes. (There are multiple arguments for this particular one but it will prove my other points...) I had to hide some of his very small t-shirts last fall becuase he wanted to wear them to school.. God help his soul...
*The constant whining and crying when he doesn't get his own way drives anyone up the wall. He is always whining because something isn't right.. And his mom will run to his aid when he is trouble because she doesn't want to deal it..
*Some of his large motor skills and physical activities are below his age group.. But ironically his small motor skills are way advanced for his age.
*He is struggling with keeping up on his academics and is seeing someone for this currently..
*A pacifer was used all the way up to his 5th year... HIs preschool pictures shows it quite well. (The mom thinks its cute but it's a little much...I would have ditched that sucker along with his blue blanket a long time ago..) This arguments also goes with the whole attachment theory....
*The red trike must go.. He won't ride his big boy bike because the small red trike is a lot nicer..
*The pretend baby words are always used...
Okay, so this could go on and on forever.. But I guess there are many reasons and factual details that can go along with this argument here. I will have to move on here later.. My eyes are starting to blur... (Tired... So good night for now.. More to come later....

Am I proud?!

So I must make a point to a dear friend of mine... I know he won't be reading this but I need to get this off of my chest because we have been talking in circles about this........Yes, i should say I am proud... But thats not the reason why i shared this with you..... I think of you as a close friend and so that is why i wanted to share these things with you...Okay so get over whatever you have and just deal with it..

I realize while sitting at the concert on Sunday that I must have a pet peeve with white males trying to act thuggish.. It actually is pretty funny watching these guys walk around with a bit of a limp and try and talk rather idiotically to people.. The F bomb comes out of their mouths like a drunken sailor and their baggy clothes barely hangs on their bodies. My cousin act that way and tries to all thuggish but it doesn't help because all I can see is this tall dorky white guy standing in front of me spilling out the f bomb and other terms that I don't wish to express here. I think I heard him say the n word one night and i about jumped down his throat...grr.. (That is a whole other story... .)Overall besides my current pet peeve the concert kicked ass. It was super chill and the acts were great. And no m from SF J-5 was not there. i lied.. I was just really drunk that night I met you and couldn't remember any of the other acts besides Wutang... I had fun getting to know you and kicking it with you before i left on Monday....Cheers to burrito joints at 200am and meeting some cool people.....

A shout out goes to the San fran crew....It was great getting to spend time with all of you.. Bring on Tribe... I am ready to party like a rock star again with all of you...B and M I hate say this but I drank both of you under the table on Friday... Well, I take back M, because you were prefunking with whisky before we met up with you..... So B, I drank you under the table. It was kinda nice seeing other people puking on the side walk besides me.... And fyi, i was not carried out of a club or bar this weekend....It seems like every time I go out with some of these people that always seems to happen to me..

B Betts, we ventured everywhere all weekend.. Went to a Hawaiin festival, went and some good korean good off of Geary, went to some swanky bar on Sunday near the downtown shopping area.. It was at some famous hotel..... I will fill you in more later......And yes the concert was awesome...
