what's the buzz?

The start of "real" school means that sooner or later, Ro will have homework. I know that it's one of those things that kids are supposed to hate doing, but i cannot and will not allow her to buy into disliking something that hasn't even started yet. 

We read books, we practice writing, we discuss what went on in school (as much as she recalls, or i can pry out of her. ugh.)

This weekend, however, there was a little bit of school that she was super excited to take home: her classroom mascot, Busy the Bee.

Now, i can guess what you're thinking... not quite flat stanley, and not quite the egg parenting thing either, this sweet little stuffed toy got a weekend pass to come home w/ Rosemary because her name got pulled out of the cup. they started this a few weeks ago and she said earlier in the month "oh, i can't wait til its my chance to take Busy home!" and i had NO IDEA what she was on about.

now i know...

We spent a fun weeknd with her fuzzy guest. Ro made him a Halloween costume, brought him to see our house under renovation, and he came with us to the movies on Sunday. I know he has to have a visit with all the other Bee families, but it'll be cool to see what else he has been up to if he gets to visit again!
