Former Lasagne Lovers Meet Here!!!

no. She told the kids she would not talk to them about it for 2 days. A cooling off period I guess. My opinion - I think she kept him back in Concert because she needs boys there and strong leaders. She has done this before according to DS. He says he is done and won't be in concert but I am hopeful that he will change his mind by Monday. We'll see, he is feeling pretty burned right now. She may have judged him wrong. I know she wants him to be a lead in next years Musical ( he was this year too). I think she thought he would take this better or at least differently. He is not taking it well at all. This is when it is so hard to be a parent. I really want to fix it for him but I can't.

it is hard to parent especially when you can't fix it. I would encourage him to sit down with the teacher to help him understand her decision in a way not to have her change her mind but for him to understand the reasoning behind it. Maybe not being in this will open a door for him in other areas too. Perhaps something outside of school like voice lessons or community musicals with his buddies would help. I dunno, the worst part is being the only one in his group of friends not picked and that's so hard at his age.

Got it! I get it now! I'm in the loop! I'm a cool cat!

You're a cool cat now! You're in the loop.

I am in need of some parenting advise. DS had a big disappointment today - didn't make it into honors choir. He has been looking forward all year to trying out and how much fun it would be next year. His Jr year. What can I possibly say? He is so very upset. I am upset for him. I know life will go on but this is really big for him both right now and for his next school year. His friends will be in that class and he will not. Help me think of something!

I don't really know what to say other than to give lots of hugs. It's really hard when we work so hard for something and don't get it.

I guess maybe have him write out some questions for her so he's got an outline of what he wants to know so when he goes to talk to her he:
1. He doesn't forget anything
2. If he's a little heated, it gives him something to follow and stay on track.

Maybe some professional lessons might be a good idea if he wants to take the next step.

We're watching the 1995 version of Bye Bye Birdie and DS is trying to sing along. Too cute.

 

[Tink & Goofy]

Everytime they sang "Bye bye birdie" he tried to sing 'bye bye'.

I like the idea of the voice lessons. I think I will offer that. It could be a nice distraction. And he'll be more ready next year too.

He will get to talk to the director. He will be at school tomorrow night for an Improv performance and Royal is also singing. If not then in class on Monday. They really do get along well and I don't think he'll have a problem talking to her. I hope she will tell him the truth.

He texted that he and his sweet girlfriend went to a baseball game and are going back to her house for a movie and food. At least it being a Friday he is out and not sitting here all upset.

DH performed it in high school and since I like the '95 TV version better than the original, he bought it for me on eBay.

I'm sure I'll cry for a minute but really, after working in a funeral home for three years, you get to where you don't think you're old until you hit 80.
