cool as a cucumber



ida met her preschool teachers today.  i registered her at the same preschool i sent eli to 7 years ago.  7 years!  that seems like a whole life time ago.  i remember taking eli there, worrying about leaving him, feeling so alone when i left and was... alone for a couple of hours.  his old teachers who own the school were there and it was good to catch up after all these years.  ida was over the moon.  i didn't see her for an hour as i wrote out cheques and chatted with the staff.  she is ready to roll on the old preschool routine/train.

tonight as i was putting her to sleep she rolled over and said, "mom can you buy me a mermaid tail?". usually she wants me to buy her a "keykock, lunacorn, puppy, tiger and cat".  but tonight it was a mermaid tail.  "you know, a mermaid tail, that i can put over my feet."  humph, do they make those?

i am happy to relay, eli has been reporting higher ratings on how his days are going at school.  day 1:  5 out of 10.  day 2:  7 out of 10.  today:  9 out of 10!  he told me saturday would be an 11 out of 10.  what a sly guy....

I'm fairly certain you could concoct some sort of awesome mermaid tail for that child with those mad sewing skills of yours.
