Panting
The first week of nursery school is over and, boy, am I exhausted. I can't speak for Felix, but given the high cling-factor and slightly elevated incidences of Tremble Chin/Pouty Lip (and I won't lie, a couple of tears-- not mine) I suspect he would agree.
What more is there to say? Not that much, really, since the one thing everyone practically guarantees is that what happens in nursery school, stays in nursery school.
"Ask specific questions if you want to find out what happened," one is advised, "don't just say `How was your day?' or you'll get nothing."
So here was my gambit. I knew that the class had spent a morning making a sign for the classroom.
Me: "Felix, did you make something today in school?"
F: "Yes."
Me: "What was it?"
F: "A cake!"
Me: "... oh. What kind of cake?"
F: "Strawberry! With sand!"
But he did happily reveal that his snack was a chocolate chip cookie, and the evidence remaining on his cheeks proved that he was on point on at least one thing.
