Had a rough night, and an even worse morning....so very tired, but don't really want to go into it.

But, I learned today that in her new classroom, Riley is learning the Pledge of Alligence....how cool is that??! From what I understand from her, each child is assigned a "job" for that week. This week she is the "cart pusher", which apparently means that she brings the food cart back into the kitchen after the meals. Last week she was the "line leader", which means she leads the kiddos back into the school after they play outside. And next week, she gets to be the "flag holder", so she will hold the flag as they say the pledge. I am so, so, so glad that she is in this room- already in just a week she is learning all kinds of new stuff.

Riley came to work with me this morning, and she got to eat at breakfast at Mommy's desk, which was great fun. I also told her that if she was super good for me (we had to scramble to get dressed and out of the house today) that she would get a special treat. I went to the store and bought her this little, tiny, just one serving of cookie dough ice cream...she has never had it, and is very excited to try it later!!!
