First day of preschool

I Sept 9, 2015

"How was school?"

"Is not school. We didn't go to da park, so is not school."

"You didn't go to the playground?"

"Da teacher say no."

"Oh, so you did work inside and didn't go outside?"

"Yes."

"Maybe tomorrow?"

"Yes! Maybe park tomorrow."

Mel's first day of preschool. His most important news of the day. (And he didn't cry. Although he said he did a little after I left "...because I miss you, mommy." But apparently did really well.)

Bubbles in da water

Here's a quote from Mel last night: "Mommy! I made bubbles in the (bathtub) water!"

"Really? How?"

"With my butt!! Hahahaha."
