In the past week there's been a class cookout, a field trip to the Burke Farm Pumpkin Patch, and a "potty cake" to celebrate the fact that all of the Wizards are now officially potty trained. Ms. Nathalie hung pull ups from the ceiling and bestowed upon the last hold-out's mother the "potty cake" mold—a horseshoe shape to be frosted in white and filled with tootsie rolls for an afternoon treat. The kids, as one can imagine, thought this hilarious, as did the parents.
Abra's annual field trip to the pumpkin patch was great. Patrick is now going down the big slides all by himself, and it was so much fun to watch him run up the hill to the top of the line with his little carpet piece tucked under his arm. Patrick takes sliding so seriously it seems like his job—I watched him go down one of the big slides probably 35 times. On the hayride, no one was particularly scared, but everyone certainly enjoyed screaming at the top of their lungs. And watching all of the Wizards compare and share lunches during "the picnic part" was a real treat.
They are an unusually sweet group of kids, teachers, and parents. I got a little sniffly yesterday thinking that they can't be together, like this, forever.
