All Morning

It rained all morning which matched my melancholy.

To be honest, I just wanted to go back to bed and spend the rest of the day on the couch with a book.

But the internet is not going to win itself.

And the gym won’t work out by itself either.

Mom pried us out of bed this morning to go to All Pro Dad’s. We had to be at school early, but I think everyone liked doing something different.

Maybe I’ll post about that tomorrow.

I love you.

Fractions Worksheet

T, I was on the computer last night and mom was going through some papers.

You came to the kitchen table and sat down beside us saying you “had homework to do.”

(I mean, you don’t actually have homework to do. You just like being like your sisters, and say you have homework to do.)

But I glance over and you are working diligently on a fractions worksheet you didn’t get to finish in class.

Fractions?!

You asked me to explain one of the questions to you – so I explain it in about 10 seconds.

You quietly work by yourself on the rest of the worksheet and then show it to me asking if you got them correct.

And you got every one of them right!

You’re four years old. 🙃

It should be noted that TAS Montessori arranges children by ability and not by age – so you are in class with 2nd grades right now.

Gee, I hope you do ok in Pre-K next year! 🤣

You smart little cookie.

I love you.

Chapel Days

I just wanted to say that I love chapel days with y’all.

Of course, it’s different now that mom and I have to switch off with H and K at different campuses…

But I love it.

There is something innocent and beautiful about children singing songs to Jesus.

And T and I even get IHOP sometimes afterward. 🤣

I love you.
