starts with y or z

Next week it is our turn to send Amy’s class snacks.  I thought we had difficult letters before, but tomorrow we get to send snacks that start with y and z.  No, I can’t send cookies shaped like letters.  Homemade snacks are not allowed.

tying up the lines

This week Evan called 911.  I was embarrassed and apologetic.  It could have been worse.  I know a mom whose 4-y-o called 911 because “My Mommy says I’m in really big trouble and I’m supposed to call 911 when I’m in big trouble so I’m calling 911.”
