the curtain rises



today we became a popcorn popper
filled with kernels.

my shorties popped and sizzled
and hopped and "ouched" as they
imagined their journey to the
bowl where they'd be buttered and salted.

"being a kernel and
getting so hot that you're
gonna burst is like when i
get soooooo mad and stomp my feet
and i just scream as loud as i can"

agreement.

"it is like when a volcano explodes"

"yeah! and the butter is like the lava!"

oooooh yeah.
we are going places.

    looks like you are off to a great start.

    This photo is classic- movement, smiles, seriousness, coolness, silliness.

  3. Oh I LOVE this photo, especially the little boy moving his body in the right corner. If my daughter's teachers were anything like you, I'd be hopeful about our public school system here in my neck of the woods.
