Loose Ends

I realized there were a few thing that I wanted to share, but got busy with life. Now that our time is winding down, it's now or never!

The first loose end, is Langston's school. In previous posts I said that he started at Superland and told about his birthday celebration... but I had to share a couple photos and a little about Langston's routine.

This is the bus Langston rides to school in every day. It picks up him and Elizabeth, his classmate, at the lobby/breakfast room of our apartment every morning around 8. This has got to be one of the cutest buses I've ever seen, especially in the afternoon when it is full of kiddos.

Speaking of breakfast and second breakfast and elevensies, I think Langston may be a hobbit. We have breakfast here at the apartment every morning - and he does not have a small breakfast rather eggs, fruit, cereal and yogurt... this is one day, not four. Then, according to the notes I get from school every day, he has a second breakfast at school. Granted, he usually only eats half portions at this meal, but still he eats half of it. But then comes morning tea which he seems to like since it is typically completely eaten. So now it's 10:30 am and he has already had three meals. As I said, hobbit! At school they also give him lunch... half portions again is the norm. Then he comes home and begs a PB&J out of me. Seriously. Five meals before 1pm. I guess it's no wonder he's got the miniature body of a 40-year-0ld beer drinker.

Another loose end, is my meeting the owner of Love for Earth. On my third attempt I finally meet Patrick, his wife, and two kids. They were quite surprised to have me just show up in their shop! We had a nice visit and they asked me questions about the shoes. Maybe they will surprise us at our shop one day.

Finally is the "student lead conference" at Kahlil's school. This is a meeting between students and their parents and is a chance for the student to show off all they learned and made that year. Kahlil was very proud to tell us the story of the Three Little Pigs with puppets, sing the 's' song, and show us all of his art work. He also had Jay and I both fill out one of the math worksheets he has done this year and then he checked our work. He checked on Jay first and Jay did both of his sections correct so he got two smiley faces. I got one section right and one smiley face, but on the second section I circled 6 even though it is smaller than 10. Kahlil found my error right away and boldly crossed out the 6 and circled the 10. I got a sad face for that section. His confidence in correcting my error was fantastic. I highly recommend these conferences. It really gives the kids a chance to spend some quality time with Mom and Dad.
