Second Old School Day

I woke up at 8:15, which was a little late for me. Maybe my swimming energy from yesterday needed extra charging. Then I went back to Bright Horizons for day two, and my brain was ready to build, match, taste, joke, and draw.

My Tuesday Timeline

I started with classroom work, made a very important tower choice, ate udon and eel, fixed my shoes with a trick, and finished with drawing time.

I Picked Tower

I signed in with my pencil, wrote my name, and picked tower because tall blocks are very serious business.

Button Detective

I matched the real buttons to their pictures. The buttons tried to hide, but my eyes were awake.

Eel Sauce Check

We ordered sweet beef udon, creamy pork udon, eel bento, and mushroom tempura. I checked the eel sauce with one tiny finger.

Shoe Math

My shoes were on the wrong feet. I crossed my legs and said, "See? Now they are correct."
