The Future Paleontologist Should Not Turn To Zoology, and Head Hugs

Xander had his last day at La Petite this morning. We picked up the things he still had in his cubby, including his La Petite picture, and handed out cards he had made for Ms. Nicosha, Ms. Crystal, Ms. Roxanne, Ms. Diana, Ms. Donna, Senaia, Darius, and Jerniya. It was sad for me because it was his first real experience outside the home and he enjoyed it so much. It is all thanks to Grandma Bonnie because we would not have been able to send him to any preschool without her.

To bring us out of the sentimental mode, I will report that Ms. Nicosha told me he killed a frog today. He told me that he had found a frog and that Ms. Nicosha killed it and that he helped it to live by putting a leaf on it, which "was nice to my friend." I'm afraid we are going to have to work on truth-telling with him. That or how to try to catch live things without smashing them. Or both.

Nick is still acting clingy, irritable, and sleepy. Very interesting. In between those things he is incredibly cute and fun. He doesn't like people to kiss or hug him but he is very cuddly if you put your head up to his and give him kind of a "head hug." He likes Xander's hugs, which are very close to being head hugs anyway.
