i really need to get back to this.

recently, elizabeth climbed a tree at school, a skinny, young tree. she was swaying back and forth on it. the big kids(5th graders, elizabeth is 2nd grade)saw her out of their 2nd floor window. the teacher had her get down but then elizabeth shook the tree, i guess very strongly.

the principal called me and told me what happened. he wouldn't stop talking--this happens when a person tells an "elizabeth" story as one simply can't imagine elizabeth's behavior unless one witnesses it. the principal repeatedly told me that elizabeth is one of his favorite kids in the whole school, that he loves her, etc. he wouldn't let me get a word in; finally i blurted out, "i need to know what time this happened". he said 2:15-2:30.

i explained her medication had worn off; he said he had no idea she was ADHD. he does now.
