Cannoli Therapy



The last day of school brought mixed feelings with it for Ben. He's happy that it's summer but he doesn't want Kindergarten to end. He misses his teacher already, and is very sad that he won't get to see her all summer and won't be in her class next year! He broke down and cried on the way to dinner tonight, and mournfully announced through his intermittent tears over dinner, "Every time I look at these noodles, it reminds me of Mrs. Osborne!" He made several other woeful and dramatic pronouncements of his love for Mrs. Osborne, before being distracted by dessert. Cannolis solve all problems, it seems. Or at least take away the pain for a while....

In other last-day-of-school news, Ben accidentally left his backpack on the bus this morning it seems, so now I have the predicament of trying to figure out how to track it down. Fortunately he managed to deliver his report card to me this afternoon even without the aid of a backpack to put it in, and his marks were all "3"s with the usual exception of "takes care of materials" and "works independently". And after the backpack on bus incident (the second this year), I am not going to argue about his "takes care of materials" grade!

Congratulations Ben, rising first grader!
