September 29

Since Isaac was home from school today and I didn't have to dash across town to pick him up (although he's back in class tomorrow -- COVID negative, thank goodness!), I took a rare opportunity to walk Brady home.

This littlest kid of mine is a big talker, so he chattered about his day during much of our mile-long trek home. I learned about the bosco sticks he finally got to try out for lunch (verdict: good, but he'd prefer chicken nuggets) and how the class changed tables at day's end and how he thinks the customary system of measurement (as opposed to the metric system) is dumb. (Seriously, he has a very strong opinion on this.)

I'm always interested in knowing what's going on in their little minds, so the one-on-one time in the sunshine with this one was a blessing.
