...Why Frances Is Not a Candidate For Home School.
All of us went to Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary in Natick, just to stretch our legs. It was a Saturday, so Frances had been "alone" with just us for several hours. At the sanctuary, she immediately glommed on to another family with a little girl a tad older than Frances named Ariel. Frances and Ariel spent at least an hour running around Broadmoor together like the best of friends. Frances just loves togetherness.* (The camera was resting in the car, so no pictures of Broadmoor.)
We left Broadmoor and went over to the Natick Community Organic Farm, and Ariel's family came with us! This was some very successful glomming.
A bunny had escaped its enclosure. Big fun.
And Chandler came too.
*A few nights ago, Frances broke down in tears and told me she didn't like her new school. Her complaint? It ends too soon in the day; 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. isn't enough school for her. She sobbed and said, "I want to go to afterschool!" And here I was thinking our afternoons together were so much less painful than I expected. What a dummy I am.
