This school thing...

I don't know if Molly really understands this school thing. She got in the car today and asked if today was the last day. I said "of this week?" "No, today is Tuesday and you have Wed, Thurs, Fri." She thought and asked, "then I go again next week?" "Yes Molly you will go all school year until next summer." "Oh, good. I want to go for the rest of my life." I laughed on the inside all afternoon. I will remind her of this in a few years when school gets harder. It is hard to explain the abstract subject of time to a five year old who only understands the right here and right now!

She was more tired today, as evidenced by the melt down in the grocery store over strawberry applesauce. I can't wait to see what Friday brings!

So funny! Don't plan ANYTHING for Thursday or Friday afternoon! Last year when McCanless started full day, I thought I would kill her by the end of the week. I just learned not to do ANYTHING at all after Wednesday! I also remember McCanless thinking that school was over after the first day/week, like Molly, she, however, was hoping it was over. At least Molly never wants it to end!! They are so funny! I'm thrilled that she is having a great start! Love to you all, Kerri
