Traditionally, when it's your birthday, you bring a special treat to share at snack time. Apparently, the parents at this school bring potato chips. Eliot said that was the only thing he had seen for birthday snacks. I asked Lucien if we could bring and do something special for Eliot's last day, like a birthday celebration. We asked Grammy to bring some special things from the US: rainbow goldfish and Oreos for our treat. I thought it would be fun to have something really American. Lucien and I decided that it would be best to have the "party" today just in case we ran into trouble tomorrow.
Riding up in the elevator after taking Eliot to school, I started to feel achiness in my legs. I noticed that I was more tired than usual running to the bus. I think I am getting the ick that mom had - let's hope not. Gina was meeting me at the apartment this morning to help me deliver a few items to folks. We took the baby gate and some food over to Roberta; then we headed over to Deborah's house with the big desk, trike, and stool.
By noon I had biked to school to pick up Eliot. I was hoping to catch a few pictures of the class before they adjourned for the morning, but the children were too ancy and hungry. They have been working on airplanes this past week. Eliot made this second version of his tube paper airplane. This one had a tail and two wings. I was pretty achey when we got home, so I popped two advil and carried on.
