Ready for School

Last Friday was a bit much at the Anton household. Sandy's maternity leave ended on a Thursday which meant good old Dad was supposed to watch, for the first time of any length, both girls. He was quick to learn that Sandy was probably right when she suggested he give Lola a bottle each day so she became accustomed to it and that Sandy is a lot better at the whole kid thing than he. He doesnt wonder how she does it. He wonders how she does it joyfully.

Making certain the child is cared for joyfully is why she will go to daycare at Claudi's Kids where she will spend her days with Miss Maria, learning conversational Spanish and how to cope without Mom. The photo, a tentative Lola on her first day.
