Hi, Mrs. Bracy!

The teacher links from the Partee web page are "under construction" so I've taken a stab at an e-mail address for you, based on Jack's teacher's. If you're reading this, I must have gotten it right.

Anyway, I can't find Mick's glasses. I know he wore them home yesterday from school, but I don't know when or where he removed them. We didn't go anywhere, so they're in the house, but under what or behind what? I hope I can find them. If I do, I will bring them to the front office of the school.

Also, I just wanted to tell you that last night as he was falling asleep, Mick said, "Hi, Mama. Hi, Grandmama. Hi, Da. Hi, Kris-Miss." He loves you.

And as far as the lunch goes, I doubt he'll eat anything today from the cafeteria menu, but maybe a grilled cheese or the chicken would be worth a shot. I wrote a note in his folder and circled those choices on the menu print-out. He didn't seem to be starving yesterday when he got home from school, so I guess he wasn't hurt by skipping snack and lunch. Did he eat a Pop-Tart for breakfast? He had two bites of one this morning after his bath, while he was playing what he calls "Elmo" on the computer but what is really a Sesame Street Letters CD without Elmo in it, I think. Telly is the monster who answers questions (along with Oscar the Grouch) from the main screen. And then there are three areas with a variety of alphabet (and other) activities. He can't get enough alphabet. Yesterday as soon as he got off the bus and came inside, he started practicing his letters with his two wooden, alphabet puzzles. "F is the first zabba-zabba FISH!" etc. Very cute.

He is also asking for help much more specifically, like "You want some help? You come upstairs?" Consequently, he seems less frustrated, which is the best part!

So I hope this e-mail reaches you.

Thanks,

Nicole
