Friday tradition

Friday, April 16th, 2010

After I pick Zoe up from school on sunny Fridays, the girls and I often stop at a park overlooking Lake Merced. Sitting on “our” green bench and enjoying the view of the water, Zoe and I tell each other about our day and enjoy a snack (usually the challah bread that her school sends home with her). It’s a nice little tradition – one we started when I was still on maternity leave – and we recently took Q with us to show him our routine. Here are some pics.

Jump around!

Friday, April 16th, 2010

The other morning when Zoe and I walked into her classroom, her buddy Leo ran up to her and grabbed her hands; as I was leaving, the two were jumping up and down together. Her teachers told us today, during our parent-teacher conference, that Zoe has been doing this – jumping around, laughing and generally acting “silly” – a lot lately. I’m not sure if it’s her age, or the fact that she’s especially happy about (and comfortable with) school these days – but whatever it is, I’ll take it! Nothing is better than having your kid jump around in excitement.
