You all know "that" kid. The one that the teachers always hope is absent. The one they sigh about when they think its time to go to church. The one the leaders have to rearrange seating to separate and accommodate.
I just saw the seating layout for the Primary Program. Paige is sitting between her teacher and the stake president. And I frown, because I know it's true.

Oh, Tara, this made me laugh. Take comfort in the fact that "those" kids are usually labeled "that kid" because they are so brilliant. It's tough now, but she will go on do do amazing things, I am sure of that. And for the record, if she was in my class, I would never dread seeing her... I would always be excited to see what fun new thing she would say that day! ;-)
My kids are surprisingly good most of the time for other people, but for me?!?! Yeah, that's a whole different matter.
We have a number of "those" kids in my family and this book: http://www.amazon.com/Raising-Your-Spirited-Child-Rev/dp/0060739665/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283728094&sr=8-1 has been highly recommended by all the parents who have read it.
I know I need to read it, but it hasn't fallen into my hands yet. And I have a big fine at the library :P
Oh my!! I can soooo relate with this and with my kids, "that kid" would be Jacob!! His poor sunbeam teachers...
She's so cute though. That should make up for poor behavior or chattiness or whatever it is with her!
Hahaha, I have one of those kids. When Mandy was a toddler during stake conference, I was singing in the choir and her dad was watching her. She escaped ran up to the front, up the steps and ran right in front of the stake president and visiting general authority! Luckily they laughed. It does get better as they get older.

We just love Paige! She is darling and says the funniest things!
