Hopefully a more up-to-date account of Angie's busy life

That's quite a lot for a six year old

Angie loves Karate and we have signed her up for a year (best option available for us).

As part of a rewards program, the classes have monthly themes and weekly lessons which are supposed to encourage positive behavior (yes that is paraphrasing the "report card"). It's things like self-improvement (patience and responsibility) or self-awareness (safety and instinct). When child demonstrates the attributes of the week or month, we initial her report card and she gets a star for a patch.

Angie loves to read everything so she asked to read her report card. We talked about the system and how if she does the things on the list, she'll get a star.

I hear her reading aloud some of the items calmly. Then, with a bit of alarm in her voice, I hear her say, "I have to save the environment????"
