That's my little girl. I had to explain today that the last toy she "lost" outside was really stolen by one of the little brats running around here. Thus Mama told her not to take any toy outside that she really cares about.

In other news, when we finally did make it to the Parent Orientation last night, we met the young woman who had done student teaching in the kid's class last year. She's teaching sixth this year, and told my girl that she'd see her in the mornings sometimes...and that she just might ask for help when she was trying to think of the vocabulary word of the day for her class. Kid, of course, was tickled.
