Some Good, Some Bad

I mentioned we were having a conference with Amelia's teacher last week. The conference went really well.  Her teachers were very pleased with her progress academically and socially.  They were also very complimentary in regard to some of her abilities and to how much of a "responsible classroom citizen" she is. So, all that is the good news. 

Well, this week isn't going as swimmingly. Today, we received an email from her teacher letting us know that Amelia was having a hard time living up to community expectations. Apparently, Amelia claimed she was too tired to do the right things.  That is a) not true or b) not a tolerable excuse in this house. So, let's just say tonight she went to bed early enough that it will be impossible to claim tiredness tomorrow. We'll see how that works.
