Siblings

Like MK, I have just one brother. However, my brother is nearly 5 years older than I am, and her brother is 9 years younger than she is. Our experiences are very different. She is a good big sister. She loves T. Willy very much, but like any older sister, gets tired of him at times.

MK has several "Build-a-Bears." She has a few that she has given to T. Willy, but, even though she no longer plays with them, she has some that she doesn't let him touch. Tonight, this is what we found when it was time for him to go to bed.




















She wrote him a note telling him that he could now play with these toys. He was delighted.

Today was an unusual day. During the official testing, I just sat in the hall and just made sure no "stragglers" tried to get into their classes and disrupt. After that, I tested a few kids who had come in late. Tomorrow we'll test kids who were absent today.

MK has been on the fence about doing band next year. The band director from the high school came to visit her school, and she is leaning toward being in the band again. He answered several questions that she had and they were the answers she hoped for. I have mentioned many times about how small our town is, but we really do like it. I especially like that no matter what elementary or middle school they go to, they all grow up to be "Bulldogs," because there is only one high school. But for such a small school, the band is huge and full of opportunities. They were in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade a few years ago. They travel a lot...Hawaii and London in the last few years. I'm hoping that she gets to go on some nice trips too.

So, that's it! Good night!
