pause tag with earache (222/365a)

i had a meeting at 7:15 with henry's teacher [about hitting :( ], meanwhile the kids got themselves ready for school on their own. i totally entrusted them with their own breakfast and getting out the door on time dressed properly, and they did it! felix apparently wanted to chase them down the street in his underwear and centa stopped him. i came home a few minutes later.

i had planned on keeping felix home today anyways, but in addition to all the fun we had planned, he kept complaining about an earache. wednesdays are ususally pretty quiet, but because of Eine Nacht in Venedig we had to get theodore to and from that rehearsal again. the parents also there for pickup were also complaining about their early nights after long rehearsals. they were all dads - i was the only mom (out of 6 parents) ...

we all went to the playground, and fritz glued theodore's shoes, which meant theodore hung out in the office, and then i hung out in his office, and then the other kids, so we had a floor party and made little pin buttons out of an old calendar. felix and henry both chose images from the Budhanath Stupa in Kathmandu.

go fish!
