School helper. I had my turn this morning as the visiting Mom in Max's kindergarten class. I helped kids count to 100 in several different ways - using stamps, making fruit loop necklaces, with a puzzle... Pretty exciting stuff! I've got the camera working, so will post some photos this weekend.

Generosity Yesterday Max had a couple of school friends over to play. In an effort to keep Esme out of their way, I took her shopping. She patiently allowed me to wander (unproductively) through the aisles of linens, and then we went looking for princess clothes. After opening most of the pink boxes in the shoe department first, we settled on a summer outfit of poka-dot top and pink skirt. When I handed her the top on a hanger she pointed at the rack and said "that one." I explained that it was the same shirt she was already holding and we were all set. "No," she argued. "This one is for Greta. That one is for Esme." So at some point when the weather gets warmer, you'll see a picture of the girls wearing the same outfit.
Show and tell Every morning before school Max collects a book and an animal for his backpack. This month the KB class is learning about dinosaurs. As if every 5-6 year old boy in the class doesn't already know everything there is to know! Here is Max with Brachie (short for Brachiosaurus, and it's a girl by the way), the newest Christmas addition to Max's collection of animals.
