AR Points
Looking to find out how many AR points your childs book is worth? LOOK no further…. I have found this website http://www.arbookfind.com to be very helpful. You can search by author, title or book level. You can find out how many points and what level the book is listed at. Its a great resource when you are trying to find new books for your child to read.
Also double check your school’s website, as some schools will put their AR book list on the website!
Good Luck!

You fell off the potty?!?
This post was a long time coming….
This year my youngest daughter was starting the 3 year old class. It was very important that she was completely potty trained prior to the start of school. So in true Shonte tradition we did a last minute push to be potty trained before the first day of school.
She was doing very well. Not many accidents, but I wasn’t still 100% convinced that we were in the clear. We even did a couple of practice trips at Open House, so she would know how to get to the bathroom, lock the door and wash her hands ALL BY HERSELF!
When I dropped her off I said “make sure you tell your teacher as soon as you have to go potty.” “Yes, MOM, I know.” she replied.
When I went to pick her up, her teacher said “Well we had a little accident today….”. I quickly looked at her and noticed she was still wearing her school clothes. I figured if she had an accident then she would be in her ‘back-up’ clothes. I must have looked puzzled, because the teacher continued…”well, she fell off the potty.” I was like….huh? “she fell of the potty?!?” “Yes, she was on the BIG potty and went to slide off and fell off and hit her head on the floor.”
Aw, now I was worried. “Honey let me see your head…” Sure enough right on her forehead was giant knot. She fell right off the toilet and hit her head.
Only my child….

Kobe part deux
For those who have read my earlier posts you know that I have given up on birthday parties, especially for my summer babies since its SO DARN HOT here in Orlando.
Last year, my oldest daughter (turning 7) decided to invite 3 of her friends out to dinner. She chose Kobe (the Japanese Steakhouse restaurant). They had a BLAST!
This year, turning 8, she decided to do the same thing. This time she invited 4 friends, 2 of which have never been to Kobe
.
They absolutely LOVED it! Best part? They ate, they were entertained, NO cleanup or setup (for me at least)! We came back to the house after dinner, opened presents and had cake! 3 hour birthday party.. BAM! Done! and best part?
Everyone kept telling her this was the best party EVER!
