I got a letter last night, left on the toilet seat cover upstairs, from Josie.She asked for more time "alone," which, when we talked about it this morning, meant more time alone with me. We talked about her sister, and why she was so grumpy and uncooperative lately. All I really had to offer is that six seems to be a hard year; Josie wasn't much fun at six, either.
I am still not used to getting letters from Josie. I signed her up last night for Mathscore [1], because she really needs some drilling in the basics, and sent her the login info to her email. I got a hilarious email in response titled "are u kidding?!" that included her first ever use of "whatever, mom!" (We worked out her problem with Mathscore.)
Anyway, I'm worried about my girls, as most mamas are. I worry I'm not doing enough, or the right things. Now that I'm feeling better, I'm hoping to spend a lot of time with them this summer going to park days and such. It can only help.
