two! Evelyn has transitioned to a primary class for 3-6 year olds,
and Willa will move up in another couple of weeks. She and Willa
will be in separate classrooms from here on out. "How could you
separate them?!" You may ask. Believe me, it's for the best. When
they're together, they're either being silly, and end up rolling
around on the floor laughing, or they're teasing each other, which
ends in tears. Ask any teacher you know if either of these scenarios
are conducive to a calm learning environment. Uh...no. Evelyn likes
her new class, and Willa does not seem bothered by her absence. This
means that either they each have a healthy amount of self-confidence,
or that they don't like each other very much. I'm going to assume
the former.
Mary Grace has started her 2nd Grade year, which means she is in the
same community that she was in last year with the same teacher, but
she's a "second year" child which comes with all kinds of bossing-
around opportunities. She is already taking advantage of this with
some poor child named Evan who has been assigned to her as a sort of
1st year "little brother." She eats lunch with him, shows him where
to put his shoes, and just generally tells him what to do all day
when he's not in a lesson. She's in heaven. She's about to start
soccer and children's choir this week. Piano lessons and ballet
start after labor day, so we're all about to get really busy. Let
the insanity begin!
