..on the way home from preschool yesterday (I was in class), Rachel saw a stunning rainbow. "I wish Mommy were here so I could show it to her," she said sadly to Drew. "When is she going to be HOME?"

She also made an origami-like thing in class, similar to what I made years ago; it has numbers on the outside and sayings on the inside. The inside sayings are adorable: "I am a Princess," "I want duck soup," "I love you," and "I want to fly to NY." Apparently she has been talking for DAYS, nonstop, about our upcoming trip back East. She is as excited as we are to see friends and family!

The other day as I dropped her off at preschool (Monday, actually), her little face crumpled up and she started crying, after clutching my leg and saying, "STAY!" Fortunately her little friend Tessa noticed and immediately tried to give her a hug. Rachel kept crying, and I gently told her to let Tessa hug her. "Your mommy has to go to WORK," Tessa said firmly, and my heart swelled at the idea that there's a little community of pre-schoolers who want Rachel to be happy. Yeah, the village is raising my kid.
