"leaving"

• Lila, when I picked you up from school I asked you how school was.  You smiled and said "Good!" I asked you what your favorite part was.  You said, "Leaving."   Oh my gosh.  You're so funny.  You're one month in.  You've got 13 years left.  I hope things start to look up for you pretty soon.
• One of my favorite things about fall is that the sun rises so much later.  I can't get enough of the beauty we get to witness every morning.   
• Lila, everyday you come home from school with a new song you've written and the lyrics written out.  You make the rounds around the family and sing it for each of us.  It's really pretty sweet.
• George, you listed all the names you are called.  You've got a lot of them.  I thought it was pretty great that you could remember who calls you what:
  Jane calls you Baby boy and Kid
  Katie calls you Dwight and Poopster
  Lila calls you Georgie
  Mommy calls you Sweetheart and Bruce and Brucetopher
  Daddy calls you Dude
