Because books.

Yay, msbelle! And yay for mac. Kindergarten *is* fun, after all.

And homework can be anything from coloring to pretending to write a letter to cutting things out of a magazine. Three-year-old Sara does *homework* all the time with her big brothers, which consists of scribbling on a piece of paper with various crayons and looking very contemplative and serious while doing so.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Warm enough , sarameg.

Oddly, that's close to the temp here. Except it feels colder.

So glad mac enjoyed his first day. School's probably just the thing for him right now.

Yay, mac!

Our wings are not tired.

Yay for fun school!

YAY MAC! So good that he had a good first day, even if he was teary and sad to start.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It does seem safe to assume that briefly teary to start is a good sign -- better than "THANK GOD I THOUGHT SHE'D NEVER LEAVE ME ALONE!!" you know?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

he is using new words all the time. big and little comparisons are very popular right now, as is "little bit". As in I will tell himit is time to take a bath and he tells me "little bit".

I love it when kids get into comparing things--reminds me of the classic Sesame Street bit with Grover doing "Near" and "Far."
