I'm 36 today. When I got to school this morning, the preschool director called me into her classroom (where she was watching the students who come for early morning care). It sounded ominous, but when I walked into her room, I was serenaded by all the kids singing "happy birthday". My own class sang it to me at snack time. Also, my class gave me an excellent gift: no poopy diapers today! I don't know who gave them the message that's what I wanted for my birthday, but they collaborated and complied. Very nice. If only the afternoon care kids had taken naps, it might have been the perfect preschool day.
I had a lovely birthday chili supper, served on the pontoon boat as we took a sunset cruise on the lake. This, incidentally, might be the perfect way to unwind after a hectic day. Dennis enjoyed it all, and I'd love to say that he was well-behaved all day (but I would be wrong). He tested the very outer limits of my patience (and believe me, I have a decent supply of patience these days) with his flagrant disobedience and constant whining. But there were lots of cuddles and kisses mixed in with the badness, and that made it tolerable. It was a good day, good and long, and it's early to bed for all of us. Even Lemonade has sacked out early!
