There is so much value in having kids be with other kids at this age. I hope it continues to work out.<br /><br />We often bake in our house, so the FaceTime baking was not bad. AJ tends to lose interest about half way through, but it’s not a big deal. The cake was really quite fast though so it held her attention and she also got to choose what to make, so that helps.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-62471809339564104252020-10-29T18:17:29.763-07:002020-10-29T18:17:29.763-07:00That cake does look amazing!

I’m glad things are going smoothly for both of you at school. Kate went back to in person for mornings only and we too are surprised at how well it’s going. jAllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06282963869813954232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-51909988905860296302020-10-13T20:10:25.291-07:002020-10-13T20:10:25.291-07:00Thanks!

Fun for AJ and her Grandma to create something together: they’ve gone a long time without a visit.<br /><br />I was afraid I’d be asked to do impossible things at school, or worse, ridiculous things. So far that hasn’t been the case so much. Part of it is luck and part of it is probably my attitude. I have been really trying to focus on what I can do vs what I can’t and that makes a big difference. And just having learned so much this year, is encouraging. I enjoy my peace of mind where I can find it, knowing there’s more than enough chaos out there to take me out. But it hasn’t yet and I am getting stronger. Haha. I hope. All the best to you. torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-12157271624266335202020-10-13T08:40:46.566-07:002020-10-13T08:40:46.566-07:00OK, first that cake looks amazing!

It sounds like there's some things working great for you and others not so much. I give teachers so much respect because what they're doing is seemingly impossible.
