We took a tour of the school and visited the classrooms of my mother's friends and colleagues. Everyone was very excited to meet the granddaughter of Ms. Overcast. Apparently, my mom talks a lot about Reilly, because my daughter needed no introduction! I also got to see my old friend Savannah, who is entering the 8th grade this year. She was once one of my mother's students, and is a fantastic poet and artist.
After the introductions, Reilly took her Nana on a tour of the hallways while we waited for the rain to abate.
All of the meeting and greeting that Reilly did really worked up her appetite, so Nana offered her some animal crackers. Even though Reilly loves animal crackers, we only let her have a few so that she wouldn't spoil her dinner.
A short time later, I packed up Reilly and we headed back to Seminole. Instead of her usual squalling, Reilly was very quiet for most of the ride home. When we go to a red light, I peered back at her and found out why she was so quiet. Apparently, I had left the diaper bag too close to the carseat, and Reilly was able to get ahold of the leftover animal crackers. She then dumped them in her lap for easy access.
What was most surprising is that when we returned home and set Reilly up for dinner, she ate more than she ever has, devouring two slices of deli chicken, half a cup of Blues Clues yogurt, and a sliver of banana bread. Perhaps we should give her animal crackers as an appetizer every day?
