After less than two weeks with us Little Miss has learned to sit down in front of me or the door to let me know she wants to go outside. When I ask if she wants to go potty she wags her little piglet tail and then dances for the door.
She's still a little shy, which can certainly be forgiven for a tiny creature who spent the first six months of her life in a cage, but she's getting better.
In other news, the end of the school year is nigh, which means:
- Field Day this past Monday: the kids and I spent much of Mother's Day slicing 20 watermelons and piling them in huge buckets with ice
- Band Concert Tuesday night: Cupcake and I rushed to a craft store in between dropping Robey off and the start of the concert to pick up dolphin stickers for the...
- Animal Research Expo: Cupcake researched and wrote about the albino bottlenose dolphin
- Band Banquet and Sleepover: my choices are to pick up Robey between midnight and 1 am on Friday night, or by 6 am on Saturday. Which would you choose?
- Author Rick Riordan's book tour visit to our public library to read from his latest book. This event occurs contemporaneously with the previous event, at opposite ends of town.
- Girls On The Run: Cupcake is running with my sister because hello? I don't run.
- Three baseball games in a row: Saturday morning, right after the band sleepover; Sunday after Girls on the Run; Monday evening after school
- Robespierre's 12th birthday. My baby! My baby's turning 12!
- Third Grade Market Day: Cupcake and her partner are manufacturing and selling cardboard keychains in exchange for 3rd grade scrip
- Third Grade End-of-Year Party: we're holding a car wash; the kids (dressed modestly, I pray) will be washing parent and faculty cars out in the parking lot and then sloshing popsickles.
And you were wondering why I've been out of touch?
