Getting to know you online over the years, and in the brief time that I got to see you in person, I could tell that Hannah has some really awesome parents.

Poopsie has an "I <3 NERDS" t-shirt that she wears all the time. Used to be mine. :)

I wonder if "get her butt kicked" is exaggeration/slang for "get teased" etc. Because I am trying to imagine but can't wrap my head around there being butt-kicking at H's school.

Hang in there. Wait til she's a tween!
