Curriculum Night

I've been racking up some major milage with Flip. Today, on our walk, my shoes felt weird. So, when we got home, I checked them out - and I had walked them clear to the insole! They aren't even a year old!!

Toast

New ones are on order and should be here tomorrow. So, Flip and I can continue our travels.

Wm continues to love school. He has a 100% in all his classes so far! I went to Curriculum Night yesterday and was SO impressed. His teachers are AMAZING and the school is just so good! One of their core values is service - and all the kids have to do 20 hours of volunteerism/community service this year. I found out that Wm was moved into the second part of pre-Algebra, so he starts Algebra (8/9th grade math!) next semester! Wm's favorite class is Genetics. Next semester, he will have a class called Medical Detectives instead of Genetics. I guess it's sort of an anatomy class. Genetics is not easy, though! I loved this text:

Wm has joined The Coloring Club at school. Every Wednesday, he stays after school and does calming adult coloring books while jazz plays and they have pleasant chit chat. Haha! Wm is....quite the character.

So is Steve...
Steve: What is cisgender again?
Me: You are cisgender. It's someone whose gender identity matches their sex. So...not transgender. Or genderqueer. Or whatever.
Steve: So, normal?
Don't be surprised if you see Steve at the next angry white man MAGA rally!
