Spring vacation, update
Spring break for my six year old is almost past, and the rest of the week has gone much more smoothly than Monday.
I had Tuesday off and had a lovely day with Punkin. Her father and I took her to lunch after dropping Buddy off at day care and she clearly enjoyed not having to share our attention. While we were at lunch she asked if we had to spend the afternoon sewing (which is what she had previously asked for) and I said of course not! So instead we went to a local junior museum/zoo for a while, which she clearly enjoyed. (She wanted to go to the San Francisco Zoo, but I explained that it was too far to go on the spur of the moment, since we only had an afternoon and not the whole day).
While we were on the way to the zoo Punkin started talking about the very pretty, fancy dress she received as a birthday present. She hadn't worn the dress anywhere yet, because it is so fancy. Suddenly she brightly suggests - "momma, can we go to tea?" See, she had been to a birthday party at a local tea house, and remembered it quite vividly.
So after we finished at the zoo (it's a very small zoo, we were only there an hour) we went home, dressed up (both of us) and went to tea. It was very civilized, and very nice. No little brothers, no rush to be anywhere, just the two of us drinking tea/hot chocolate and eating scones.
The rest of the week was uneventful, seeing as how I had to work. Punkin went along to her brother's morning activities and then spent the afternoons with him at daycare, which she generally enjoys.
One last day off from school tomorrow (teacher training day) and then back to our regularly scheduled programming on Tuesday.
That will be all.
(I've been knitting, just not photographing it!)
