My daughter loves her primary teacher. When I went to pick her up from class after church yesterday, there was a Noah's Ark play set in the middle of the room and a chalkboard drawing of an ark on the water. And this morning after the big kids left for school she was telling me all about how animals give us stuff. "The animals give food to us. The sheeps give us socks and shirts. Isn't that weird?!? That's what sheeps give us! And cows give us milk. And mouses give cheese to us. And horses give us. . . hay? Jaguars give us. . . I don't know what jaguars give us! Do you know what jaguars give us?"
I have NO idea.
But right now she wants to pretend we're animals who eat stuff. "Real stuff."
ABOUT ME
With me, what you see is what you get. I am a 37 year-old mom to four (adoptive mom to one). I have been lucky enough to be able to stay home with my kids, though I have been an in-home day care provider and secret shopper while at home. Before I was a mom, I was an elementary school librarian and reading teacher. I adore, love, and laugh at my annoying kids. I spend my free time planning home improvement projects and not finishing them. My pet peeves are untested idealism and ignorance. Someday (soon!?!) I want to learn to build cabinetry. Thanks to my brother Steve's pottery wheel and my sister Jamie's patient expertise, I got to throw two bowls this summer. Jamie will be the first to say the first one didn't count (it was NOT pretty)!

Maybe you'd like me to tell you about the things that I know are true.

She's cute! I love it...at least she learned something. I ask William and he says he learned about family. Then the handout he gave me was about the gift of the Holy Ghost. He must have heard the word family sometime during the 2 hours of Primary and that was the only thing that got through.
