Happy Valentines Day!!!

Sage invited me to come to his Valentine's Day party at school so I decided it would be a great way to spend part of my Friday. First graders are so much fun. They're still so unaffected by how others may perceive them. They can still run & hug Gramma without worry that they may be "laughed at". How sad it will be if & when they lose that freedom. I live with the dream that maybe mine will be able to grow into "free spirits" that can be themselves without so much worry about what their peers are thinking. Is that a ridiculous dream?

Allison is such a good home room Mom.
