Happy Friday! I am ready for this week to be over because I have had a sick one home! She is finally well and back to school! YAY! That means I can go outdoors and be with big people!

My poor girl was so upset we wouldn’t let her go to school on Thursday that she just cried and cried. Her body was saying she couldn’t go back but her heart was tell her she wanted to!

I love that she LOVES school so much! I hope she keeps that for years and years!
