Sophia's Favorite Teacher

I had to take Brooke in to get her sports physical on Wednesday morning.  I was very thankful that Josh was home so number one, I didn't have to drag everyone with, and number two because I left him to do Sophia's phonics with her.  I got everything ready and laid out for him and gave him a brief description of what needed to be done.  Well, when I got home she was all done with her work.  But, I was very surprised when I looked at her worksheet.  Sophia always has really nice handwriting.  She is pretty good about staying where she is supposed to be as far as the lines go.  But on this day, she was making the letter J.  Her lower case J's were awful!  So I asked her what happened and she just half smiled and shrugged.  So I asked Josh about it and he looked at it and pretty much said he hadn't really even looked at what she did.  He did have her erase them and rewrite them.  I thought it was pretty funny though.  Well, the next morning when I was getting Sophia's phonics ready she told me, "I like when you do my school better."  I wasn't sure I heard her right so I asked her what she said and she repeated herself.  She said "I like when you do my school cause dad always weaves."  Meaning leaves!  Ha ha, sure, he says what has to be said and then gets up and leaves.  That is why her handwriting was so bad, he left her to do it herself.  It just cracks me up because I really can see it driving him crazy to have to sit there and do that lesson with her, much less have to sit there and wait for her to finish her writing!  Oh I'm still thankful he did the lesson with her and I certainly would ask him to do it again.  He means well and tries to help.  Sophia I am sure wouldn't complain too much.  But really what it comes down to is that she would rather ME teach her.  THAT is all I needed.  It's kind of nice to be chosen over daddy once in a while!
