December 20

Today was the last day of school before Christmas break — a snowy morning as we dropped Simon off, and I’m hoping the white will stick around for a few more days. I do actually enjoy the rhythm of the school days, but I am ready for a change, and I am as giddy as, well, a kid on Christmas break. I have really been missing my big kindergartener, and I am looking forward to the unstructured days so we can stay in our pajamas until noon, or all day, and bake cookies or make art or do whatever. My plan is no plan.
