Put in your place

My little granddaughter is of course the apple of my eye.  As a bragging grandfather please bear with me.  Sylvie aka Ticklepinch, aka The Snoochel is very intelligent and perceptive.  Both these traits can be a problem.  The other day Sylvie's teacher said Sylvie needed to see the school psychologist.  This did not sound good.  However, the problem was Sylvie was getting her work done way quicker than the rest of the kids and then wondering what was the problem for the rest of them.  Since Sylvie is an only child she has some social skills to learn.  A little empathy for the less talented kids is what she needs so that is what the teacher wants her to work on.  Sylvie and her mom were discussing some of Sylvies problems at school when Sylvie said to her mom Erin " How would you like it if you worked all day and then came home and had someone criticize your performance"   Fran and Erin were both cracked up by her remark.

As a sailor Kadizzle is into sea shanties, and has learned a few.  Kadizzle likes to teach Sylvie some of the sea songs.  It is such a kick to see Sylvie doing some little task and singing Leave her Johnny leave her.Sylvie singing
