Lilly's new preschool (that'd be Clara's old preschool) had its open house in the evening. We took the whole family and I was struck by the difference between the business-like atmosphere at the elementary school and the circus that was preschool. Kids ran around the playground and the slide had more pebbles descending than kids. Lilly met her teacher, Miss Leslie, and even smiled for a picture. Her first day is next Tuesday.

Henry has no new teacher, but with Clara gone every morning and both girls absent twice a week he's likely to get all the attention he can handle. When he does go to school that's when I'll know I really am old.
