He too did not want to participate on any of them. It is true that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Thats okay, because as we recall we always loved doing things together, but if you hear it from Daddy Shortbread, he seems to not remember one thing about the fun times we had when he was growing up. Grandma<BR/> God may be able to help. Raising bears is not supposed to be easy. If a bear wants to stay home, the bear can.

Her main point was that she was afraid she'd get car sick during such a long bus ride, and she also didn't like the idea that one of her parents wouldn't be riding with her on the bus. I think that if you can go as a chaperone AND ride on the bus with her (as opposed to driving behind the bus), she might change her mind. I know that was the only way I could get Mr.Pickypants to take a field trip to San Francisco when he was in fifth grade. Bear told me she wanted to ride in the car with you or Daddy Shortbread, not on the bus. I'm glad to hear this trip is optional. I know the anxieties over it have been on her mind for a long time. As you say, you guys will be taking the girls to Boston some time anyway, so it's not like she'll ever see Boston. Does Bear realize that not going on the trip doesn't mean she'll have a day off school? Those who don't go usually have to sit in on another class that day. Isn't parenting a barrel of fun at times like this? :)Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10786571515856851397noreply@blogger.com
