Conversations with an Amy June 20, 2008
Just now.
Amy is being very chatty at the moment. I said to Mike, who just got home, “She didn’t even have a nap today!”
Amy: You said no nap, Mummy! Teachers said no too.
Me: That’s right, I said no nap.
Amy: Jae pushed me into the doors.
Me: Which doors?
Amy: The sleep-room doors.
Me: When? Today or yesterday?
Amy: Yesterday.
Me: And what did you do?
Amy: I tolded him STOP DOING THAT.
Ethan is in the University of Canterbury’s alumni magazine today. They have an article about multiculturalism in the classroom, and came to Ethan’s school and took a photo of his class, which has at least half a dozen ethnicities represented, maybe more. His face is half-obscured by another child but his face will be half-seen by, I’m guessing, one or two thousand alumni.
