These days Tuesday nights are to be Tae Kwon Do nights for Scarlet and me. My mom wanted to come and witness our lesson (perhaps more so she could gather material for "funny Scarlet stories" to tell her buds.) Tonight I had Scarlet put the uniform on at home so we could avoid the locker room shenanigans--she is really into locker rooms--picking out a locker, opening it over and over, putting her belongings in one by one as she declares what is going in: "now my scarf, here are my socks..."--the whole process takes many, many minutes. Not great when we are rushing to join a class that's starting in one minute.
Even with the uniform on, Scarlet was still allured by the dank little locker room tonight. She said she needed to store her pink and completely empty backpack in there. I instructed her to not go in. She started to whine. I told her sternly "it's time for the class." She started to freak. Sassiness is soooo not a part of the Tae Kwon Do deal. I said would we have to leave if she was going to act inappropriately. She could not pull it together. We had to excuse ourselves. All dressed up and no where to go.
She fell asleep on the way home.
Best Part of the Day-
I got to skip Tae Kwon Do! Just kidding.
Scarlet made me a "valentine" that says "hi mom" in her preschool scrawl. It's pretty cool. Plus, it's my first valentine of the season. (She also drew Will-O a picture of a cat and it is seriously far better than I could do right now).
