opening of the house

if yesterday was any indication, i am in for an entire year of stifled giggles and involuntary eye-rolls.  montessori is unintentionally hilarious and (likely intentionally) pompous.  i'm not sure what else to say about it, honestly.  bea's teacher is a man which bugs me a lot but he seems cordial enough and i'm hoping he has a tragic accident in the first few weeks of class so i don't have to deal with him for 3 years.  i'm not sure what my prejudice is but i loathe the idea of bea being instructed by a man, especially during these formative years.  i would like her to be surrounded by positive role models and, biologically, a man will never be a role model. despite my reservations, bea left the classroom declaring her love for her new school and wish to start class immediately.

then we talked about uniforms and she wasn't so excited anymore.

anyway that was about the extent of my evening with the munchkins.  earlier in the day they went to the zoo and now hardie wants a pet elephant.

simultaneously creepy and giggly
