School has continued online and that is partially why I have not been blogging--I cannot take any more screen time by the time classes and prep and record keeping are done with for the day. This weekend, I'm a little ahead of myself with prep (only a little), but I thought I owed you all a little message at least. ;)
Today is a big day because we have a playdate. :) No social distancing with two five-year-olds. I'm fine with it, and I guess our friend's parents are also okay because there was no hesitance when we asked if he could come over and bake brownies. My assistant bakers ditched me completely for the pool, however, and I was on my own in the kitchen Little Ren Hen style. Emily was happy to just help eat the brownies.They've been playing with magic sand, legos, musical instruments... Today is the first day that Emily has asked to have a friend over in all of this time. I'm very glad that Carlos was able to come over because I guess virtual play on video calls with Ga only gets you so far. At some point we do need real contact, and not just seeing each other, either. We're all starting to go a little crazy starved for interaction. I am happy that Emily asked for this. I think she needed it more than she even realised.
