Settling in

The toddlers were happily romping around the playground when I went to pick Tara up from pre-school, but I did not see my little princess there. Once inside, I saw her pink socks and tiny tennis shoes in the bathroom stall. She was upset; she didn't like being removed from the outside play area to come inside for a potty break. Her light blue shirt had the tell-tale signs of an afternoon of fingerpainting. Her hair smelled like a little girl's sweat mixed with fresh air and sunshine.

Her teacher showed me their projects on the wall. I scanned the artwork and finally found Tara's blue handprints with the words above it: "Happy Mother's Day."

Laura, we went to pick Marika up from Little Tigers once and she was nowhere to be seen. Of course I panicked, but was pointed to the same place you found Tara, and was so delighted to see another effcient program humming along. Those schools and the good people who run them are the greatest!
