Okay, so I realize that it has been a few months (4 months to be exact!!) I feel like a horrible mom! A lot has happened in 4 months! Tanner is now crawling, has four teeth, eating all kinds of homemade baby food, and is into everything! Instead of trying to go back and fill in the blanks, I am just going to pick up from today!
Today Tanner has his 9 month check up! He had a great report. He weighed 20 pounds and 28.5 inches long. He is in the 75% for height and 25% for weight. My sweet baby is on target for all of his "goals." Great news!
While at the doctor today, I guess I experienced my first real "frustration" with other parents! We get to the office, sign in, and go sit in the waiting room. While we are there, there are two other families with their children. One of their kids is EVERYWHERE! Going into stranger's purses, taking people's drinks, and then come up and decided to put his hands in Tanner's face trying to touch him and get Tanner's hat. Well, being the mom I am, I nicely said, "Ohhhh don't touch." I guess being a teacher, I don't mind correcting other's kids if they don't! Well, during all of this, the mother just sits there and says "He is always like this at the doctor's office!" I wanted to to tell her that just because he always does this, doesn't mean it is acceptable!! Ugh! Control your kids!
Some parents in society don't realize how hard they make it for us to raise our own children with discipline. It is so frustrating when you try to instill good behaviors and morals in your child, but then they see others who can do what ever! How do you explain to them that some kids are not taught how to behave in public! I am not saying they have to sit perfectly still and quiet, but at least respect other's space and belongings. How hard is that to teach! I guess that is where us teachers come into play, and we just teach it in the classroom!
I apologize if I stepped on someones toes or offended you, but this is how I feel about the situation.
