FROLICKING, SKIPPING, LEVITATING THROUGH MARKET SQUARE

Grandson Jack in Market Square

Walking with grandson Jack downtown is a challenge.  He frolicks, skips, cuts in front of you, runs ahead, then backtracks.  He has a certain frenetic energy that caused some 80's kids to be prescribed ritalin.

His kindergarten teacher at Champion Elementary, Mrs. Cano, seriously considered putting his feet in tennis shoes bolted to the floor, so his movements wouldn't disrupt other kids.

Nena and I laughed at that.  Jack is simply the victim of bad DNA, not just Nena and I, but his dad, the counter-culture Diego Lee Rot.  

During his first grade half year at Skinner, his teacher Mrs. Perez, used an app to explain to Jack's dad how Jack was falling short.  She never realized that it was Jack himself responding to her emails.  LOL.

Nena told Jack before she died that she no longer worried about him.  She knew he was going to do great.

I've always trusted Nena's judgement.
