M went to volleyball practice at GDS this afternoon. (She says she is not good – which isn't a surprise because today ws the first time she had ever played!). She saw N after school when Nana drove her to GDS. When I picked her up tonight, she told me that N had cried when he got home from school. He would tell her why, despite her trying to get it out of him. So the whole ride home I was worrying about possible reasons for him to be crying – was someone mean to him? was he sad about it being the last week of Lafayette (possibly ever!)? is he not feeling well? did it have to do with us weaning him off pull-ups? 

When I got home, I took him aside in a quiet place and asked him what had made him cry. He told me. He was sad because the frosting came off the cupcake Daddy packed for him in his lunch.

We miss A! She is back from Annapolis but is at her friend Abigail's in Georgetown. M is now out at a friend's house in VA and we are home watching the Nats with N.
