We were curious about what his teacher would say in the meeting, not knowing what kind of student he would be.  Not that he isn&#8217;t smart and curious, but he&#8217;s also stubborn, talkative and a rule-stretcher.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOur oldest son, Abe, had the same Kindergarten teacher, so we knew her well.  She&#8217;s a teacher that genuinely likes every child she teaches, but takes no guff.  And she keeps them engaged throughout the whole year.  Not an easy task for the K Set, but we thought Eli might be a challenge.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHer first words were,<br \/>\n&#8220;Do you know what I call Eli?<br \/>\nHe&#8217;s &#8216;The Situation&#8217;.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWe knew exactly what she meant.  And she said it just like we would:  a shake of the head, a small smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye.  That&#8217;s what that little creature we call Eli does &#8211; he drives you crazy in the best way possible.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/rdpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/the-sitch-too1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"the-sitch-too\" width=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3162\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<center>:::<\/center><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alamodestuffblog.com\/2010\/04\/organizing-meet-up-om-one-moment-wanna.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"om [one moment] meet up\" src=\"http:\/\/cynthomas.com\/rdpblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/OM_alamodemeetupbutton11.jpg\" class=\"alignleft height=\"100\" width=\"139\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>OM is *one moment* and is a meetup designed to notice &#038; relish a moment in everyday life.
