It was Ikey's real first day of school, where we dropped him off and walked away. TB and Jovie and I drove him to the school, locked his bike up at the bike rack, signed him in to his teacher, and kissed him. TB was pretty reluctant to leave, but Ikey hugged his teacher and didn't even look after us once.
The girls dropped TB off at home so he could go to work and we went to THE MALL. I swear I haven't been to the mall in four and a half years. Jovie asked me if we could check out books or movies at the mall, so she obviously hasn't been there. I told her the mall just had clothes and jewelry. She said, "If we agree, you HAVE to buy me some jewelry." I told her they don't have kids jewelry at the mall, but she found a kid's charm bracelet at the Gap. "You were very wrong mom. You were not honest." So now that's on her Christmas list if anyone is making one.
We made it back home just in time to load up the little girl in the bike trailer and head out to pick up Ikey. TB called me to make sure I remembered to get Ikey. He was very moved when the teacher said that if we are 30 minutes late, they would call the police or DCFS. I wonder if he'll remind me every day.
Ikey's class was having recess on the playground, so I signed him up and loaded him on his bike and we had the most cheerful bike ride home. I noted that after one day of him being out of my sight, he picked up a new saying: "Oh, that sucked." Great.
We picked up a pizza and went to Wheeler Farm to eat it. This is a classic activity we haven't done in a long time. The birds were less aggressive than usual.
We went upstairs in the Activity Barn to look at a photography show and the museum things. It was really cool! The curator helped us set up their harmonograph and we made some cool drawings.
