Day Twenty Two and Counting...

Whew.  What a long week!  And all of us are feeling just how worn out and tired we are!  Maybe just a little bit punchy, too!  Grace was very excited to see me pull the camera out after dinner.  Well, she was done eating... but, Olivia wasn't!

Livie and her spoons!

And then Grace got in on the action!

 

 

She clearly thinks she is hilarious!

More than once this week, Grace has come running to me, thrown herself into my arms and told me that she loves having me for a mommy and a teacher.  (I am a teacher in her preschool class.)  And she thinks that school is much more fun when I am there.  My heart fluttered every time she said so.  It is so challenging some days... I don't know if I am harder on her as her teacher, or as her mommy.  At the same time, it is so rewarding to be available to her all day, to see her interacting with her peers and teachers, and to see her grow and develop.  Maybe the hardest part is just staying away from Olivia's class...!

 

I feel like she is staring right into my soul...
