WHAAAAA!!! (translation: i want my mommy!)

Callie cried again today. So much that they called me to come and pick her up early. Poor little girl! She was clinging to her stuffed monkey with huge tears streaming down her cheeks. It broke my heart!!
Bryce is loving school. No tears this year. I was happy to learn today that some things I tell him do sink in. His teacher told me that he told Alexander (his arch enemy from last year), "my mommy says we can't hit each other this year". Alexander responded "okay" and then they played together all afternoon. That morning we had a "talk" about getting along with Alexander and keeping his hands to himself. Score one for mom.
