Kate's been off from school this week, basically; 3rd-5th grades have testing in the mornings, so kindergarten kids are off until 1 p.m. The first day we got donuts and ran a couple of errands, and the second day she had a morning playdate.
Today Kate slept in, and was very cheery, so after we dropped Jack at school, we ran a couple more errands -- returning books to the library, and mailing birthday cards at the post office.
At the library, we dropped books in the overnight return box. Kate wanted to do her own books and gave a happy little noise as each one dropped in.
Walking the short trip to the post office, I took the direct route while she took each long, winding path. I went up the steps, she took the access ramp that went back and forth and back and forth. She ran so as to beat me, and laughed when she did. I let her.
Inside the post office, waiting in line, I stood while she climbed back and forth over the ropes that separated the line from the windows. Often I tell her not to. Today I just watched, letting her climb over and back, over and back, laughing happily at her agility.
We walked back to the car, or rather I walked, she skipped.

A while back I became a writer. In January 2005 I became a Dad. Shortly after that I started this blog thing. And here we are.
