Creative week

As the week draws to an end I want to reflect on all Gioia's creative achievements.  She went to school Monday to Wednesday and came home every day with a painting for her wall of fame.  She built a seven piece puzzle alone and successfully navigated her little penguin scissors across the length of an A4 sheet of paper.  I like to check-in with an online educational site to confirm what milestones she must have reached and so far she gets a green light.  I must add, though, that she did get a TIME-OUT yesterday at school for clobbering a class mate.  Public displays of aggression are not an achievement, but at least she has no problem expressing herself and setting boundaries.  I just want to add that I don't tolerate nastiness and neither does her teacher, so she had to sit on the sad chair...which made me chuckle in secret.
