"He who opens a school door, closes a prison."
-Victor Hugo
James wanted to make some art with food, and since those are two of Ashlyn’s favorite things she was happy to join him. James told Mommy that he made an apple duck, but when I got home it had turned into an apple sandwich. I’m not sure which one it was, but he was proud of it.
First day of school was this week, and our new second grader was mostly looking forward to starting. She did great at drop off was excited to see her friends again. When we asked Ashlyn each not how school was, her response was always “good”, so that’s good.
Isla continues to be fascinated with towers. Build, destroy, build destroy. Tower after tower. This week she made her tallest one yet, enlisting the help of the kitchen step stool when she could no longer reach on her own. She enjoyed destroying that one.
