He's in the 4th grade!!!!

TK has a friend at school named Elizabeth. She's the cutest thing ever. She picks apart her ponytail holders and gives TK the beads. She also has a brother in 4th grade...yeah, uh oh.

So, TK comes home for the third time and says "Elizabeth's brother told me he was going to punch me in the stomach and the nuts if I don't leave Elizabeth alone." I was like, "REALLY? He said that to you?" and TK said "Yes and he balled up his fists at me. I was so scared my teeth were chattering." (I almost laughed at that one).

So after a lengthy discussion with the teacher and Tiki, Todd asks him if it's all square in his head - if he can go to school Monday and not have chattering teeth.

TK says "I guess, but HE'S IN THE 4TH GRADE!"

Todd said "Yeah, but there are people bigger than him"

TK was skeptical to say the least when he said "Yeah, but who?

Sad that I'm so old I can't remember when a 4th grader seemed scary...

Oh Soo funny, sometimes I feel like I am struggling to get on their level too, BUT other times I am handed a permission slip to sign and I feel like I was just getting them signed by my mom...mam life is short.

I don't remember what it was like as a fourth grader either. I have a second grader and its so hard to let go. He is so very independent now. He had a problem with some bullies a few weeks ago. He says it has gotten better.
