Today was slated to be a long one at school. Dave left by 7 am to go help set up for the Walk A Thon. I took the kids to school by 8 am, and I prepared myself to read in Peyton’s classroom. She was to spend her recess picking up trash, and her lunch in the office because of the antics from yesterday. The reading went well, and after, I went to help set up as well. I crossed paths with Dave a few times, but I was helping with fruit preparation. After 30 minutes of food prep, I went to the multi to watch the kinders. I briefed with Mrs. M to take Peyton and V to the office after lunch was eaten, so they’d miss out on their recess. Both Peyton and V had independently written notes to Mrs. K. I was so embarrassed when I saw Diana, knowing what Peyton had done to her the day before. She said she felt badly, and didn’t know what to do herself. I reassured her she did the right thing. She said she was laying awake last night re-hashing her response. Peyton did hand her the note, which I’m glad she did it on her own, without force being used. Both girls went willingly with me to the office, where they were awaiting them. I did remind both of their behavior and V told me, “This is the first and last time this will happen.” I hope she’s right. In one way, I’m happy they weren’t fighting with each other; too bad they just got in trouble with each other. So I went to supervise the kids who did not belong to me for the next 25 minutes. The principal brought both kids back to the kinder area after they were done. I left the area after telling Peyton goodbye, and went to eat lunch on the blacktop with Dave. He had a tri trip sandwich, while I had vegetarian Indian food – samosas. It was great chatting with the various families we’ve met along the way, especially since Dave and I are hardly ever on campus together, and without kids at that moment, nonetheless! Then, the kids were dismissed, and I gathered Peyton, while Dave had Brandon’s stuff. We re-applied sunblock, and then the kids walked one lap with their teachers and classes before being set loose. I couldn’t find the kids for the longest time. Even Peyton! There was a sea of green shirts. After standing on the sidelines for several minutes, I finally spotted Peyton. The plan was to walk with her, while Brandon ran with his friends. Only, Peyton wasn’t aware of the plan. She took off running!
proof…she’d run periodically on her own!
I could only keep up with her for so long, as she was weaving in and out of traffic that I couldn’t squeeze through. So, I chatted with moms I’d see here and there. Namely, V’s mom. We had given the girls the SAME lecture! We each said the other mom wouldn’t want our daughter playing with the opposite daughter if the poor behavior continued. And funny we each had them write an apology letter AND make them do the laundry. Great minds 🙂 I was happy to have chatted with her, as I wanted to make sure we were on the same page, and we were. Peyton did say, “I saw you talking to V’s mom.” I told her we shared notes about the other’s conversation and agreed. She was thinking about that one for a bit and remained quiet. I didn’t see either kid eat their Otter Pop, but both knew that I’d let them eat it since they would earn it. Later, I bought Peyton some cotton candy, and then Brandon happened to ask me, too. We had plenty of tickets to spend, so I got Peyton pink, and of course, Brandon wanted blue. Dave had one shift punching lap cards for the final hour. I stood by him and fished out our kids periodically when I couldn’t find them. Grace, Brandon’s friend, stopped me several times to say hello and check in. I love being “Brandon’s mom” and “Peyton’s mom” to the kids. The final bell sounded at 430 pm, and both kids found us. Peyton walked an astonishing 51 laps! That’s 4 more than Brandon ran at her age, and I didn’t even have to push her like I did with him. He cried, whined, moaned, and did 47. She ran, and only needed a little encouragement to get to 50. Her goal was 25 so she could get all the prizes accumulated for the kinders. The higher the grade, the more laps needed before prizes were accumulated. The kinders maxed out at 25, with colored hairspray. Funny she can’t run arOund the bases but can run around the playground. (her coach heard how many she ran and told her he was pretty impressed!) Brandon ran with his friends and also ran solo because he said his friends were too slow or were stopping too long! Brandon ran 66 laps!! He ran out of space on his first card and needed a second card deemed the “Gold card”! We bought the kids dinner there, and then they were sent to the multi to watch Big Hero 6 while we helped clean up. We’d never stayed that long, since we could never trust Peyton to be left alone. Brandon, too, for that matter. But they were so tired, they weren’t even going to mess around with one another. Plus, all their friends were there, and they were busy watching. At the end, while Dave and I were cleaning up, I saw one of the other kinder kids in a different class. She was walking with her dad, and I waved bye to her. She waved back, and said, “Bye!” Her dad looked at her and asked, “Who’s that?” (I could still hear him). She said, “That’s Peyton’s mom!” The dad asked again, “Who?” She repeated, “Peyton’s mom.” I had no Peyton around, so I probably threw him off a bit, and since she’s not even in Peyton’s class, he probably has no clue, just as Dave would. The kids wanted to go home with Dave, though he was parked farther away. I walked by myself to my car, when I saw another mom from PC was leaving with her son. I just learned that they were related today at recess. I knew the kid, though not by name until today, and I knew the mom, as I’d worked with her at food prep today, but I didn’t know he was her kid! So, I said, “Bye A!” He said, “Bye, Peyton’s mom!” I said bye to the mom, too, of course. Again, no Peyton around, yet I’m still “Peyton’s mom.” But it is weird, when one of the other moms calls me “Peyton’s mom”. I have to draw the line with just the kids calling me that 🙂

So proud of him for taking the whole day off, working his a$$ off, and then contributing to the auction in an all dad outing!

Best part of today… No gym tonight!! 17,824 steps now.
Peyton told me her feet started to hurt at 43 laps. She was very specific. While she was walking upstairs, she was walking like she’d been on a horse too long, and I suggested she was walking funny. She said, “Because my legs are so sore!”
