Dancing & Schooling

Last Thursday was our first day of dance class. I say "our" because I had to hold Molly's hand & do every dance move with her! That was, to say the least, a sight to be seen. I hope the dance instructor doesn't charge me double-tuition!!

School seems to be getting harder for us rather than easier. Today, I left my child screaming, crying & reaching for me...begging me not to leave her...teacher holding her back. I rounded the corner & sat down on the steps. I listened to her cry for about another 20 minutes (hoping she would eventually quit), but she didn't & I went on to work...crying.

But, when I picked her up, she was grinning from ear-to-ear & said the day had been "great" (her answer to everything lately). However, she & Garrett both got in an ant bed & Molly had about 75 bites all over her...they didn't seem to bother her, but I cried (again)! Hopefully, she won't run a fever with them tonight!

We had Supper Club last night at the Mason Clubhouse. We all enjoyed shooting skeet before supper...which was a lot of fun...except I held the gun a little too close to my face, and I have a swollen cheek today! We had poppy-seed chicken, creamed corn, greenbean casserole, and caramel cake...mmm-mmm good!! It's our turn next week...I'll have to get the wheels-a-spinning on what we're going to serve!

Molly's first day of "school"!

Well, today was Molly's first day of "school". It was actually her first day at the Methodist Church's 3 year-old Pre-K program. But, to her, it was "school". And, to me, it was the first time I had ever sent my baby out into the big world all alone! I had to beg her to give me a "goodbye" hug & kiss...not that she needed it, but I definitely did! It was the longest 4 hours of my life this morning waiting for it to get time to pick her up...but, she loved it. She colored a beautiful picture for us and was chatting away. All she's told me so far is : 1. Garrett cried...all day...till his mommy got there...then he stopped. 2. A tiger chased her on the playground...it was scary. 3. She colored on the sidewalk with chalk...it got on her hands...the teacher said it was okay. 4. She lost her hairbow...3 times...the last time she didn't find it. So, I'm sure I'll get more stories tonight!
