H2 {oh!}: Born Leader -- Nature vs. Nurture

Born Leader -- Nature vs. Nurture

On her first day of preschool, the teacher made her "line leader" and BG seemed to really be proud of herself.

Sooooo, last night, BG was in the bathtub and I asked her if she'd been line leader lately. She said "no" -- said "that udder giwl wanted to be leader." So I asked if she wanted to be line leader and she said "yes." So being the helicopter mama I guess I'm turning into, I told her to politely ask the teacher if she could be line leader.

About 30 minutes later, still in the tub, BG tells me...

"Mama, tomorrow I'm gonna ask my teacher if I can be line leader... and if she says no, I'm telling her my mama told me."

Uhhhhh... wasn't exactly expecting that.

My future line leader... because "mama said."

This'll be my pick for BC -- anxious to read but doesn't look like that will happen for a few months.
Ken Grimwood: Replay
Melissa's book club selection that still has me wondering if I'd be a flight attendant if I could do it all over again :) (****)
Stephenie Meyer: The Twilight Saga: Slipcased
I'm so addicted no one would ever believe how much I'm mourning being on book 4 -- sad that the saga will end and where will I be without my Edward? And yeah, for those counting would you believe all the books have 400+ pages and I've read them ALL in less than two weeks?! Uh huh, oh yeah!
Sue Monk Kidd: The Secret Life of Bees
Still needing to see the movie! (***)
Nancy Pickard: The Virgin of Small Plains: A Novel
BC's May pick, I'm bringing it to the beach -- will keep you posted on my progress. It looks like a good one. **update, awesome! Loved it! Lots-o references to KC! (*****)
Jeannette Walls: The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Done Bubbee! And with only an hour to spare before the discussion. Book club rated it an A-... I'm giving it a C. I guess I missed the word "memoir" in the title. Would have made it a tad bit more interesting. (***)
