Meet the Teachers

Today was Open House at the girls' school. When I was teaching, I know I looked young and I used to get questions like "Are you sure you're old enough to be teaching?" It drove me crazy because I knew I was the same age as some of the parents. I didn't ask Allie's teacher if she was old enough to be teaching, but she looked so young to me. She was nice and Allie was excited about her room. She couldn't believe there were dolls and clothes. All she wanted to do was dress them. She even asked if we could come back tomorrow so she could play. We only know 1 other little girl going into kindergarten at the school, but she's not in Allie's class. I'm disappointed. I was really hoping she would be. Allie's class is right across from Jaelyn's last year and Jaelyn's is in the hallway leading to the kindergarten rooms. They'll be close which for some odd reason makes me feel better about sending Allie off to school.I was happy to walk into Jaelyn's room and recognize one of our neighbors and their son. Jaelyn's friend, Catherine, is sitting across from her right now and (drum roll please) Jaelyn's former love is sitting across the room. That's right...Liam. She actually didn't recognize him. She asked me who he was and I had to tell her. He's gotten bigger since June and when we got to the car, she asked me what he did this summer to make him so much bigger than her. Too funny. He's a boy! Anyway, apparently, that crush has ended and I'm sure we'll have a new love by Wednesday. Her teacher is very nice and apparently lives somewhere behind us.
