Driving the ambulance is a popular job.  The line is building.  The dreaded word "sharing" is emminent.

I had lost sight of Ruby for a minute and this is where I found her, dressed in a tutu and singing loudly into the lighted stage mirror

Preschool with Mrs Grimes

Little Charlotte Bug, you have started PRESCHOOL!!!

Can I say you are excited to go each Monday and Wednesday morning? No.  No I can't.  You tear my heart out each and every morning that I drop you off.  You cry big crocodile tears and say "No, Momma".  You have a hard time with new people grabbing you out of the car.

BUT

Once you get inside, you have a great time.  You reportedly love to play with the books and the blocks.  You are the class builder.  You don't talk in class yet, which I think is quite funny, seeing as how you hardly stop chattering here at home.  You are clearly warming up to the idea to going to school.  You just take your own sweet time, little one.

You are learning a lot.  Already you have done handprints, freeplay building, painting with brushes and your fingers with the sparkly paint on great big paper, done a self tracing and read lots of books.  I cant wait to watch you grow in Mrs Grimes' class.  She is wonderful and I know you will learn to love her as much as I do.

Can you tell me how to get to...(Sesame Street)

Charlotte's sesame Street Birthday Party!!!?  Sorry for the sideways pictures, having some computer problems... :)  We had a blast, as you can clearly see.
