B's serenade today was about sandwiches. The last bit went "Ring, ring, ring went my sandwich" to the tume of the Trolley Song from Meet Me In St. Louis. I had no idea he remembered it, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Luckily he was happy to amuse me rather than being offended by my mirth.

H played the recorder with the rest of the third graders in a school assembly today. When I was in fourth grade we played Sakura on our recorders for the sixth grade graduation ceremony. H is the same age now as I was in fourth grade and wears a size 8, while I wore a size 6. I was such a puny kid! Sadly, I have retained my small stature, though I am not nearly as thin as I was then.

today's project:convincing B to go to school, eventually bribed him with promise of a video after school

Did you know? I binged on GS cookies last night, but I have been good today.
