After-school fun
The girls typically stay at PM care at school 2-3 times a week, on those days I’m working in Palo Alto or one of them has an enrichment class. They love it there, often looking disappointed when they see me (I don’t take it personally!) and/or asking if they can stay longer. While there, they run around on the playground, do an art or craft activity, work on homework, or – as was the case the other day – pretend they’re baby birds. I had to laugh when I picked them up and watched as a little first-grader threw Cheerios in their mouths. (According to the teacher there, this had been going on for some time before I arrived.)
