Kindergarten

By
A friend created a blog for her daughter where every entry is a letter. It is such a tender way to share stories, so I'm borrowing the format for this post.


Dear Jack,

Today you started Kindergarten.

I am so excited for you - all the new things you'll learn, new experiences you'll have, and especially the new friends you'll make.

The first few days may feel weird and scary because everything will be new. But just like camp and preschool, you'll quickly know the routine and things will feel comfortable.

I can't wait for you to experience a real classroom. I hope you'll love the books, activities, games, and variety of supplies for arts, crafts, and experiments. It is so much neat stuff to learn with and about. You will love it.

You have so much to offer to your new teachers and classmates. You are bright and love to learn. You love to be a part of a group. You have fun doing all sorts of things. Mostly importantly, you have a big heart.

I hope that you share your big heart (and big ideas) with your teacher and class. Trust them and respect them and they will do the same for you.

There are two final things I hope you always know:
I'm so very proud of you.
I love you.

Go shine your amazing light.

Love,
Mommy

Echo echo echo...

We welcomed a new pet to our home: Echo, a lovely red Betta. The name is all Spence, though he did pose a few other suggestions. Spence: I'm going to name it Bluey. Me: the fish is red. Spence: then I'll name it Reddy. Me: Let's stick with Echo. That's a cool name.

Sunday Afternoon in the Park

By
Could be a well known play, but in this case, it's the new Yankee Stadium. I picked up tickets Thursday afternoon for today's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. This is the first game we've been to at the new stadium. The new stadium is very nice - much more in line with other new stadiums. There is a lot more space in the walkways - more food options - and much better bathrooms! The latter being most important to me right now. Our tickets were in left field in the upper deck. All in all, decent seats - but the sun made them a bit unbearable. The game started off slow - I mean slow. The first two innings took almost 2 hours. We were roasting in the sun! Eventually, we decided to walk around to check out the rest of the stadium and get out of the sun. The game got much better after we starting moving. Eventually, we ended up on the first level watching the game from the walkway. The pregnancy bump paid off, because one of the ushers in this area let us sit down in the shade
