Thanks. I would have no idea how to clean up that picture.
Her mom is still in Florida, but she comes up about one weekend a month to visit. It's hard on Bethany, but Bob got a webcam for when they talk on the phone. She really needs some stability and I don't think she gets that with mom. Mom is more interested in being a friend, not a parent. There are some behavior issues that Bob needs to deal with. Nothing MAJOR, just little things like having to be told not to do something and 2 minutes later she is doing it again, and then again, and again. It drives me batty. She's doing well in Kindergarten and starting to read little words. She really needs speech therapy but the school says she's age-appropriate. If she were my daughter I would be stomping up and down. There is no reason why a 6 year old can't roll her R's, say th instead of d, lisp her s's, etc. She says dat for that, dumpin for something, and gewl for girl. Sorry, I guess that more than answers your question.
