Do you ever have one of those moments?

Where you look at your litle one and say I can't believe you are mine! Look at the way you eat you are amazing. Clearly brilliant.... how did we get you to this point... I had one of those mornings. K was having an off period earlier this week (they seem to occur every month or two where she is on trigger tears. How dare you put that spoon that way? I will cry for that and about everything else. My day is ruined....) We seem to be back in normal mode and so I am very excited! Hence the return of the feeling of having one of the best kids ever.

Also had a funny Bay Area moment yesterday. T and I met for coffee yesterday in Sharon Heights. We wandered into a kids store and the storekeeper was having a conversation about some local school not having homework and how great this was. A shopper immediately launched into how horrible this was.... etc. We were minding our own business and the mom asked us from the other side of the store whether our kids went to this school. We mentioned well our child is 2 no school yet. Immediately a chance to compare notes about which preschool our child will attend. We said we didn't have her signed up quite yet... uncomfortable pause followed by the mom reminding us about the wait lists really filling up before the baby is born. Although she followed with saying that it is ok preschool is not necessary I definitely left the shop feeling as if that wasn't actually what she thought. Strange!

Ha! Pre-school wait lists are much the topic of discussion. Our nanny ran into an acquaintance at library reading hour who said that her grandson has been accepted into a pre-school program, after a wait-list since birth. Good heavens!
