Preschool
Our plan all along was to put Mina into the Playschool that is at her current center (they enroll kids infant through kindergarden). They may not be the "best" and surely aren't exclusive at all, but it has been a good fit for her.

We've been battling hand foot and mouth in our house again with Mina (a virus spread easily around young kids, with symptoms of painful mouth sores and body blisters most commonly on hands and feet. Not fun! She was back at school yesterday and is starting to eat more solid foods again, which is a nice perk. It is also an amazing feeling knowing ( Read more... ) -

It has been a nutso week at work. Lots of things to do. An early-morning meeting each day. Busy is good though. I read some article in the Children's Hospital Blog by an MD about how her messy house was a sign of her rich life.

Spring?
We indeed had last night's tap class moved, at least until tonight. Aside from the fact that the studio owner does not like driving in the snow, there just isn't anywhere to park (relying on municipal lots) with there is a lot of snow around or the city is digging out after a snow emergency (and apartment-dweller folks with on street parking need ( Read more... ) -
