Monday I had a parent/teacher conference (annual thing). Tuesday, I met with an Educational Consultant from Vanderbilt who had come to evaluate all the kids in the classrooms at his school.

It might be best that I waited until morning to write this. I could use some happy this morning. I sleept hardly at all last night and the sleep I did get was on a folded up futon because I got squeezed out of bed by Chris and the cat. So, I'm pretty much an animated corpse today. *grumpy yawn ( Read more... )

As it turned out, one of the teachers we met last week isn't going to be there indefinitely (her husband is very sick). So, there was a new teacher, plus a substitute that I ( Read more... )

I just dropped Jonah off for his first day of preschool. He took to it like a fish to water. In a room full of toddlers, half of which were sobbing at the sudden disappearance of their mothers, the other half looking confused and not knowing what was going on, Jonah was a beacon of distraction. He immediately grabbed a toy off the shelf, went to ( Read more... )
