Teacher Comments:  Mrs. Debbie taught Mick and Matthew to sign "I love you."  It is very precious.
Mick is out of Pop-tarts.  We tried the breakfast mix -- but he was not a fan of it.
I put the wrong date for our cookout in the newsletter.  I meant to put Sept. 25 (this Wed.) instead of Oct. 16.  We will eat at 12:30.  Can you make it?  We'll have hot dogs, chips & cookies outside on the playground.
 
niknotes -- Mick seems to need a nap rather badly this afternoon, but he was so cheerful getting off the bus and saying 'bye to "Ister Don."  Just now he asked for "more popcorn" which reminded me of Alice in Wonderland telling the Mad Hatter or March Hare that she couldn't have "more" because she had had nothing yet, and of course the reply was that it's quite easy to have more than nothing.  But anyway ... Mick put the popcorn bag in the microwave, wrong side up, so I said, "Turn it over," which he did.  Then he said, "That's the ticket."  He then pressed the popcorn (one-touch) button and is watching it pop.  I think I'll read him a story while he eats his snack, and then maybe he'll take a nap, though Jack is due home in about ten minutes which might interfere with my plan.  Not that Jack is an interference!
One additional comment -- as I was typing the last couple of sentences, the popcorn finished, and Mick stood by me insistently urging, "You want some popcorn?  You want some popcorn?  You want some popcorn?"  Finally, he said, carefully it seemed, "I want popcorn?"  Good boy!
