Tonight for homework A had to separate a list of items into 2 categories: things that DO decay in soil, and things that DON'T decay in soil. For the things that DO decay in soil, she said that these are Things Daddy Likes, and the things that don't decay in soil are things that A Wants to Keep. I have no idea how she came up with that. The things that Daddy likes are: leaves, apple core, chicken bone. Things A wants to keep: marble, tin can, paper, plastic spoon. Then she came up with 2 each of her own. Things that decay: banana peel, dog poop; things that don't: shoelace, soda bottle.

We are very lucky because it looks like practices and games do not conflict with ballet, Sunday School, Alice performances, Alice rehearsals (other than maybe 1 or two), the girls' birthday party, or even the Spring Fair.
