on a field trip (sols)
Lucky-momma — I’m spending the day at the zoo with kindergarteners. Most importantly I’m spending it with my favorite kindergartener.
He says, “Thanks for coming, Mom. I really enjoy you.”
That’s enough to make it worth taking a day off in May.

So sweet. It can't get any better than a trip with the youngest ones!
Ahhhh, I miss these days
That is the best way to spend a day! So sweet!
How nice – both the day and his articulation of love.
