Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long.

So even though it's Saturday, and thus not the official "7 quick takes" day, I'm gonna do 7 little things anyhow.  Unless I can't come up with 7, heh.

1.  Monday - gonna be chatting with the new principal at the school I used to work at - looking at potentially picking up two classes there.

2.  Tuesday - Patrick has a birthday party to attend - his best buddy from pre-K, Ahmad.  I need to get out and get something for him this weekend.  Or perhaps Monday.

3.  So I need to find someone to watch Calla on Tuesday - since I really don't want to haul her with me to the party (It's at a bounce house type of place, and I know those have limits on attendees - had I thought to ask way back in June whether or not Calla would be able to attend, I would have, but it didn't even cross my mind, so I'm not going to ask with just a few days left.  (Yes, I need someone to watch the kiddos on Monday as well, but that's already covered.)

4.  If the classes at the school (physics 2 and chemistry) AND the co-op class (physics) make, then that will actually put me teaching M-F, heh.  But it would be two classes on M/W/F and one on T/Th.  Potential childcare is lined up except for Tues and Wed. 

5.  It is adorable to listen to the kiddos playing school.  Patrick is always the teacher, going through the calendar and weather with Calla and/or a circle of toy animals.

6.  Patrick says he wants to be a teacher.  Of course, on any given day, he might respond fireman or something else as well, but it always seems to come back to teacher.  I think it's pretty obvious that he REALLY liked pre-K.

7.  And we think he's reading.  Well, I take that back - he IS reading.  He recognizes words and tries sounding out ones he doesn't recognize.  It's just that his pool of recognized words is still limited (though growing!).  The hubs noticed Patrick sounding out words while he was reading on the potty, LOL.
