School Days

Poor Guillermo. Today was our day at school for Animal Show-and-Tell. He was the animal picked to go. I tried to get Daniel to take the hermit crabs but he told me, "the crabs are boring! I want to take Guillermo!" So, off we went to school this morning.

He howled all of the way to school. And all of the way into the building. Interestingly, he stopped once we got inside. I signed in and headed to Daniel's class. Guillermo was not happy about the 20 kids that descended upon him and tried to hide under my arm. Daniel was thrilled to answer questions about him and found it even more fun to call on his friends to take questions. Fortunately, it was only a 10 minute ordeal and he easily went back into the carrier. Once we got home, he immediately ran from me and hid for about 30 minutes. After that, he was fine and back to his normal self.

I also had Hannah's parent-teacher conference this morning. Hannah adores her teacher and it seems like the feeling is mutual. Mrs. M just gushed and gushed about Hannah and what a great girl she is. Apparently, she has some of the best fine motor skills in her class (she was able to cut out a tracing of her hand...I thought Mrs. M had cut it out for her!) and does well with the alphabet, numbers, shapes and colors. She also has lots of friends in every class. Mrs. M said that most of the kids know the other kids in the school but aren't friends with them the way that Hannah is. She is, indeed, a little socialite. It is so nice to come out of a conference feeling good about it all.

Hope Guillermo is OK! Going to school can be quite an ordeal. Hope the kids all learned something about cats.

She's quite a girl, our Hannah. Smart and a socialite as well.
