Last Thursday Ms. Crazy Preschooler and I were waiting for a student to come who forgot her lesson day. I asked her if she’d like me to cut her hair, and she said, “Sure!” Not wanting to pass up the opportunity, I steered her to the kitchen, found my sewing…

Last week I baked chocolate chip cookies. Before bed, Dr. Pediatrician and I were discussing something on one side of the kitchen.
