School

"I made a stalactite!" Blaze, with his ice cream hanging down from his spoon. 

Also Blaze: "Now I can almost name almost all of my friends!" He's very proud that he's made 5 friends so far this year. 

He told me about one, who he said is very nice, and they became friends playing together, with very little talking. "And then I asked, 'Would you like to be friends?'" Blaze told me. "And he told me, 'We already are.'" 

I find this story of friendship so very moving. 

I had a two-hour visit with a former student this morning. And a beer with a colleague in the afternoon. Biking. Music lessons with the boys. And ice cream. 

A too-long day--I was too tired at the end of it.
