The Corona Diaries Day 3 - First School Day
March 16, 2020
Day 1 of actual 'school' day. It was chock full, starting oh so very early.
I woke up extra early to get some writing done (since all my day time writing time will disappear). Started writing at 5:40 am hoping Harper might sleep till 7:00.
6:04.
SIX OH FOUR!
Ugh. Oh well. At least I got a page done in that time.
Harper and I did kids yoga via Cosmic Kids this morning. It was a bit, um, faster than I was used to for a yoga session. But a good thing to get going with. And later in the day she asked if she could do another one. Cool!
The morning was filled with a friend of Harper's whose parents were in a child care pickle and of course you have to step up and help. They had a great time playing and making silly videos (which I will not post here because it consisted of much screaming and running.)
After our friend left there was math and language arts. Using the handy dandy white board in an alternate direction.
Around lunch Harper found an alternate use for her backpack. Biscuit kinda liked it.
After lunch was art class. I happily observed the lesson on shading, cross-hatching and blending. Kurt is pretty darn good at drawing! There was a lovely rain shower while class was on. It was very relaxing.
Then we rounded out the day with baking cookies for St. Paddy's day tomorrow. We had green icing but no shamrock shapes. And in case you imagine I have my sh*t together, please observe many an imperfect moment! Ha! Gravity and heat...my nemeses.
After we made dough, when it needed to cool for an hour, Harper took a long nap. Something she rarely does. I guess that early wake up, super high energy morning with a friend and classes at home really did her in.
I hope she sleeps later than 6:04 tomorrow...!
It was a good first day and a good start to the whole new world we are living in.
