Drama Drama

Pravan got home from school on time. As soon as he got off the bus he told me that he wanted a snack. He asked to eat an apple.He also told me that he was hungry as he did not eat his cookie at lunch or drink his chocolate milk. I try my best to give my kids treats as they are usually deprived. Really I almost never give them junk. The one day time I do he did not eat it. I was surprised and asked why he did not eat it. He told me that the raspberries I packed him were smooshed. " I did not want to make you mad so I did not eat my treats. Now I want an apple so I can have my treats after I eat healthy " My heart just melted and I was saddened. that must have taken a lot of will power not to eat the cookie. He could have thrown my berries away and eaten his treats. He made a healthy choice and I was so proud of him. He really believed me when I said " I always know what you are doing at school so don;t ever lie to me " I am really enjoying the power I have over him as I know it won't last for too many more years.
Then my heart sank as he told me that when he was in the bathroom one of the boys asked him friend to pull down his pants. Teh poor kid did as he wwas told and stood in the bathroom in all hi glory. I feel awful for the kids that are bullied.My child is already weird about this naked thing and now this. He did report it to his teacher but forgot to tell her that one boy made the other boy do that. I called the school and talked to them.I also called the mom of the boy who had to pull his pants down. I am friends with that mom and thought she should know what happened. I am glad that Pravan chats like a woman as I always know what is going on and he knows most of the time what is right and what is wrong.Okay we got to finish up homework now.

Picture day at school

This morning I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I totally spaced that I needed to pay for the school pictures online. I took care of that and then got Priyasha dressed to go to a friends house. Liz has a daughter Jaisyn and she and Pravan were in the same kindergarten class. They are in different classes this year. She is one of Pravan's many girlfriends. He was thrilled that she was going to ride with us to school. I dropped Priyasha off and picked up Jaisyn. It was so cute to listen them talk in the backseat. Last night after I made arrangements with Liz Pravan asked to talk with Jaisyn and finally I had to have him hang up. When he hung up he said " I love you " to Jaisyn. It was so sweet but boy this is starting so early. I am sure he said it as he says it to grandma and grandpa on the phone.
Anyway I had to tell the bus driver to leave without Pravan as he was riding with me and promised her he will ride tomorrow. I showed up with a comb, water bottle and hairspray and took care of the kids that had messy hair. They all looked so adorable. I purchased a big package and the cd as well. I like to save the cd's in my fire proof safe for safe keeping. In spite of buying the largest package I took a picture with my camera. The photographer was so sweet and allowed me to do so. It is not the best shot as they were not really in front of a background. She super imposed their picture on the background we chose. Here is the picture I got. Pravan is such a natural in front of the camera. His first shot with the photographer was the one I loved. He understands the importance of pictures and does a wonderful job.
