The Js walked to school with the intention of hooking up with our friends. Somehow we missed them, so we walked a bit faster and alone. We did bump into them at school, but I'm still not sure what happened. I sort of felt like the outsider lady (Jessica Chastain's role) in The Help when the society women tolerate her but don't really want her around; surely, I'm being dramatic, but it felt that way today. ;o(
E and I met more neighbors down the street. They have a girl E's age, so that might be a good fit!
Elise's school report:
Thank you everyone for helping to make no shoes day a success. Everyone in the class really enjoyed it. We will have to do it again throughout the school year. Today we talked about manners and etiquette in other countries. We made fans with dinosaur stamps and practiced using the fans. X carefully chose which stamps he wanted use and made a beautiful fan. X really enjoyed making the fan and said that he wants to give his to his mommy. X told us that fans are used to keep yourself cool and X said that they are for babies at night. In kinesthetics, we played red light green light and had a shoe relay. Elise ran down the hall, took her shoes off and ran back the fastest. X was second to finish and everyone had fun playing the game. We also practiced using computers today. X identified the letters in his name and carefully typed them.
After school, we had an impromptu playdate at our new friends' across the street. Both kids started falling apart or antagonizing various people or ignoring me, so we left just before 5. Now, they are painting in the front room, still antagonizing but working it out.
Then, we had an impromptu dinner party at friends'. There were 6 grown-ups and 7 kids; somehow it felt like we were way outnumbered though. Fun, casual night.
