I have to share this with you all....
Today as I watched Jake and we did our morning thing before school. Like always....
breakfast... xbox...me ipod... yeah FB(facebook)... Jake & me playing "anger bird's" so on and so on I think you get the idea.

Jake will ask some of the weirdest & craziest questions or random things. One thing I love about this kid. But today like last week he has been doing the MSP they changed the name to that. (was the WASL) Two area's he doesn't think hes good at is the writing and spelling. So last week like today he starts in with "my tummy hurts or I don't feel good" can I stay with you?? Not knowing he was testing again.

I do the auntie thing..

Where does it hurt?
are you going to get sick?
are you sure it's not that your tummy is over full... he wakes up staving each morning.
After he answer all my question he looks at me and says "nerves".

Why?? MSP... What's today's subject?? Writing... I suck at it.
So here I am thinking this kid tells a story well. But then it hit me, telling a story and putting it on paper can be different. I know this to be very true... you can draw a big blank.

After talking to him telling it's OK to feel this way I remember back to other kids in my life on how they feel going into a test or a simple thing like a class room for the first time in a new school. you know... that pit in your tummy feeling. If you're 10...16...19 or even 30. Going in to something "new" we all get that pit in the tummy.

Each day we face what we concede is... the pit feeling. I still feel like that at times. On the weirdest things too.

Today as we go thur our daily grain remember this... nerves happen all reason. Be kind. Some people don't always share their nerves they hold it all inside for many reasons. At times I share way to much... then times I put my "Leah " smile and act on. Cause I just don't know how to share my nerves.
I'm glad Jake opened up to me and I love how are bond grows still after all these years.
Growth is good...

peace out... leelee <3
