The school run

I was dropping Zoe off when this pulled into the school lot:

A ride to school in a Ferrari 348 -- not bad.

All we need is for people to show up with Stokke strollers, and it'll be just
like the peninsula!

on my own

Chloe is off to caramel school at Valrhona, so I have the kids. When I dropped ZZN off this morning, they had a table with cards bearing all of their names. Other kids were affixing them to a big blue card holder on the wall. I saw Zoe fiddling with what I assumed to be a random namecard and stick it on the wall, but it was indeed hers! I was very surprised that she recognized her name... I wonder if a teacher's aide handed it to her while I wasn't looking.

update: I made cards with lots of random three letter names on it and she really does recognize her name!
