So the girl missed some preschool because the mom and the dad had some business trips, and the girl loves to travel but also she LOVES school.  But you know what the girl loves even more than travel or school?  Me!   Here she is after having missed a week of school.  At school. With her face buried in mine.  Not paying attention to her friends. The mom was there, obviously since I can’t be at school with the girl without the mom or dad, and finally forced the girl to leave me alone and join her friends.  

She ended up having a good circle time with her friends.  I had a good alerting time with the mom.  I’m just glad I don’t have to do circle time.  Yet.
