January 3

Tonight kind Mrs. Berryhill sent a trio of things home to my kids and every one was a huge hit. There was a giant roll of kraft paper, a roll of masking tape, and this keyboard. The kids went from drawing pictures to tapping out "songs" on the keyboard and back again. Even Will wanted in on the action.

Unrelated thing overheard from the other room today:

Claudia: "Emily, guess what."

Emily: "What?"

Claudia: "I love you no matter what."
Emily: "Huh?"

Claudia: "I love you no matter what."
Emily: "Oh. Me too."

Claudia: "Uh."

This was all done in a completely matter-of-fact way.
