agendas, bass, circles

"back to school," a phrase parents love.  unless u happen to be a parent who is also a teacher. 
m officially started school on friday with the district teacher rah-rah session because everyone knows teachers want to spend their time at pep rallies and meetings instead of actually preparing their classrooms for students (no sarcasm here whatsoever). 
thankfully, m no longer works for the traditional school and she should actually get some time to prepare her classroom (although her classroom is being shared this year so finding time might still be tricky).

c doesn't think anything's too tricky.

while m is busy getting buried in back to school agendas, c is still being c.  she likes to think she's a big girl now.  she wants to drink out of real cups, use real silverware (that barely fits in her mouth) and use real fragile plates.  she wants to use the potty so we keep trying, but we really don't think she has any control yet.  she wants to wear big shoes.  she wants to push the cart in the grocery store.  she wants to ...

she wants to be in a rock band.

she likes to spin in circles.
