POD

 We had our first parent of the day session with Mattie's class this week.  We didn't want James to feel left out, so we both went in.  (The scheduling folks coordinated so that we bring the snacks on the same day for both classes -- fewer times to have to remember it that way!) 

Of course, both of the boys were pretty happy doing their own thing in the classroom, so it didn't seem like such a big deal to them that we were there (unlike last year).  But it was nice to get to see what was going on and start to get to know some of the other kids.

But we were so focused on the snack that we walked out the door without the boys' lunches!  Doh!  Mike had to pop across the street to a restaurant to get them a sandwich.  (And then, he left to go home without telling me, and took my school bag with him!  One of those days...)

Mattie had a fever last night, so we stayed home from school today.  Hopefully he'll be on the mend for tomorrow!
