I was in Chicago for work on Tuesday and got back last night, which is why I didn't post for two days. We are definitely in the throes of school and activities. Soccer starts this weekend – game and practice – and softball practice starts Saturday with the first game a week from Sunday. A had her second ballet class today and her first tap class on Tuesday. She is the youngest person in her class by 2 years.

N is getting more comfortable at dropoff. He doesn't look back at us as much when we wait at the window for him to go up the stairs, and he is usually chatting with Sarah or Alice ("my oldest friend" – not really true). He expresses some hesitation in the morning but then later he says he had a good day. Tonight he said he really likes his Spanish and Peace teachers.

Homework tonight – bleh.

For a short week, this has been a long week.
