Daily Musings 43 🎃

Posted on November 1, 2020November 1, 2020 by 12raisins

My little guy loves Halloween. He’s been obsessed with it for a while and I think the fascination began with pumpkins. Just recently he refused to nap if not with his pumpkin.

Daily Musings 40 “settling in”

Posted on October 29, 2020 by 12raisins

My students love to dance. I love to dance too so this gives me great joy. Kindergarten, Covid-19 style is a pretty sad first experience of school, but it is what it is and the little ones know no better.

Daily Musings 39 “feeling ill”

Posted on October 28, 2020 by 12raisins

I wasn’t feeling very well yesterday, so I made sure to tell my two year old son as we walked to our new home. I told him I wasn’t feeling good and asked him if he’d take care of me. And he really did. He had mercy on me the entire evening and night.
