When I told her we were going to Helotes for Kinder Round-Up, she wasn't happy about it. "I don't want to change schools!" she said.
I spent the drive to Helotes Elementary selling her on the idea: Nathan would be there (wouldn't it be fun to see her brother at school every day?); her daddy and Aunt Day went there; the teachers are great. etc. I even told her that, once upon a time, I thought I'd be a kindergarten teacher--which I did when I was in first grade. "Can you still be?" she asked. "Can you be my teacher?"
What finally sold her was fashion related.
"Do we have to wear uniforms there?"
"No."
After that, she was all in.
"I can wear anything I want every day? Yay!"

| I love seeing the student art work in elementary schools. |

"The Day Before Yesterday"
She wanted to tell me something that happened on Saturday. "What do you call the day behind the day that was yesterday?"
