Kylie got a pretty dress today but she didn't want to try it on (it was mail delivered). "Nah. I don't like it." She said initially but changed her mind when I held the dress out at eye level to her. She is so picky with clothes that sometimes I just want to give her... Continue Reading →

Yesterday, Kida's class celebrated Thanksgiving by dressing up as Pilgrims and Wampanoag Indians, having a big feast, and playing some games. In the photo, the student who stood the longest on one leg wins. Kida (that's her feet in the front) didn't win but she held on for a very long time. This Thanksgiving, the... Continue Reading →
