Syd's friend Sayble joined us this week before school starts up again. We discussed how meatball trees would be a good idea, and the girls ran into a coyote.

When Syd starts to tell me about her schedule, listen to how her voice changes as I tell her I don't really care if she has friends in her class. *note to self: "Listen to your children always. "

And finally, listen to the evolution of an idea to package up "Dad Advice" for future dates. I'm doing this....
