Preschooler Tongues

Me: So what else do you like besides Spider Man?
Kid #1: Two Spider Men!

I should keep track of what the kids are saying these days, especially at this age! So my summer plans have finally been met. The professional aspect anyways. An internship on a college campus and volunteer work at a preschool specializing in special education. I hope to get as much out as I can. It was only my first day for the preschool and it was amazing :).

It's June already?

It's not officially summer vacation until I pack my laptop away. That's the last item I pack whenever I fly/drive home/school. My suitcase is wide open and I still can't figure out how to cram in the usual necessities. I already folded my clothes in a few days ago but out of habit, I always repack to make sure I got everything. This is the saddest trip home. I don't want to leave. I am usually thrilled to leave the bubble known as Irvine, but there are a few exceptions. Lewis is the first of course and knowing that it's going to be a lot happier here then back in the Bay is the second. I can't exactly raise a glass of approval for this summer but "cheers to a realistic summer" anyway.

I'm going to miss you :'(.

Prayer

Please watch over her. Regardless of what she's put us through and what she's suffered, she's bound to come to her senses. Hopefully she'll realizes it this time. I can only pray. I wish I have the patience and irrational unconditional love someone else has for her. I was taught to forgive and forget, but my thoughts with her are always going to be written in stone. I have conditions, I'm not fully generous. It's almost a human sin.

Holmes

He is getting a lot bigger. I just caught him trying to climb out of his tank from his basking dock. Silly turtle. I need to get Holmes a bigger tank, he's getting bored.
