Why are some people mean mommy?

Wonderful Bean
Emily READ a book to her class today. Got up in front, read the words (stopped to sound out when she needed to), showed the pictures to everyone and explained what was going on. I’m so proud.

Growing up fast
I just went to pick up the Bean at school. She was already on a sleeping mat being quiet. I leaned down to see if she wanted to come home or stay there until 3. She said “Go home mommy, I stay with the other kids. Bye bye, I love …

Starting School again
I’m really excited for the Bean to start to school tomorrow and so is she. When we told her she was going to a new school, she jumped up and down, did a little dance and yelled “yippee a new school.” It’s all she’s been able to talk about since …
