Rachel and I were in great moods tonight; me because I got good sleep last night and Rachel because...well, she's Rachel. A sample of what she had to say:
We got a book in the mail tonight from the Portland Jewish Library. She immediately appropriated it, took her mini stuffed otter from its hiding place in her car seat, and announced, "I'm going to go straight to my room to read this book to Otter. Every time he has to wait, he gets a cliffhanger."

Describing how she said goodbye to Drew this morning before he left for Seattle, she said Teacher Tracy gave her something (I forget what) "because I had a good dropoff" when Drew deposited her at St. James.
"I gave him a kiss on the cheek. And he looked so handsome. He looked like a wedding person. With his tie and his shirt and his pants. He looked just like a groom!"
***
As I was picking her up, Rachel looked at me and said, "A lot of ladies have your shoes." (I was wearing Keens, the ribbed shoes that are good for river walking and they're my go-to summer shoes). "You look AWESOME!"
Then she made me put on my sunglasses.
"You look like a rock star!" she exclaimed. Man, this kid is great for my ego.

"Guess what?" Rachel said at dinner. "I DREAMED of kindergarteners. They were walking down a secret staircase in the Big Room. I was so amazed, I woke up in the middle of the night. I gasped. I went there and saw so many amazing things that I brought back a whole bag of treasures. I gave them to Erin and she was so amazed. Then I brought it home to show you guys and then in my dream, a voice said, 'and they lived happily ever after.'"
