Reassurances
Noah’s school held a “school meeting” today, and we were very happy to learn that they hired a new lead teacher for his classroom.
Ms K was at the meeting, and we liked the vibe we got in meeting her. She seems like an aging hippie artist educator — all things that are ok in my […]

It Would Have Been Cool…
I’m a civics geek. I love things like voting and the idea of jury duty. Today I got called for the 4th time, but I’ve never been picked.

I am a zombie.
Noah, meanwhile, is positively chipper. Right now, he’s downstairs chirping "Bah-bah-bah-bah-bah!" at Jill.

Day Care Update
I took Noah in late this morning, and after I dropped him off, I went to the office to talk to the director.
