Josh started back to work on Tuesday, long day of "Where's Daddy? When will Daddy be home? Why did he have to go to school?" But we made it through!
And on Wednesday, Ruthie started Kindergarten! She's having a lot of fun - recess and snacktime are her favorite parts of the day so far!
I went to a "parent info night" last night at the school and had some time to talk to Ruth's teacher about where she is with things - reading, math, etc. The teacher is going to work with Ruthie, and allow her to do some of the grade 1 things so she'll be more challenged - which is exactly what Josh and I want. I'm not sure where this will put her next year, I have no idea the policies on skipping grades around here, but we'll discuss it with the teacher and principal later in the year. For now, the teacher know Ruthie's further along than kindergarten and will let her do more things so she doesn't get bored! That's good enough for the time being.
And, here's a picture of her before she went inside!
In other news, our cat (Caspian) went missing last Saturday. By Tuesday, we were pretty sure he wouldn't be coming home and the kids had started to notice he wasn't around. All we could tell them is that he ran away, we didn't know why or where.
But, yesterday after we got home from taking Ruth to school, we heard a loud howling in the breezeway, and lo and behold, it's the cat! The kids are happy to have him back. I have no idea where he was for 5 days, but he sure was skinny - and hungry! Otherwise he seems fine, not hurt or anything.
