Play By My Rules

Cutie has a broken arm and has not been able to play sports for over a month now. She missed Synchro tryouts but managed to get a spot on two teams based on her resume. (1 year Synchro, Pre Pre MIF, Pre Dance.) We selected the team with a mission statement.




Softball started. We went to a game just to meet the team. Paulo thinks softball is a waste of time. I think he's a bit of a snob and softball is not sophisticated enough for him. I loved softball growing up and even played on the District of Columbia's Law clerks team when doing a summer internship at ERAmerica. I signed Cutie up because I hoped she would meet students at her new school. She has and we like the families. The big question was "Are you going to be in the MAC program?" MAC is multi age curriculum. After spending time with parents with children in the program, I really want her to be in it.



Step One: Sign up for school (Today)

Step Two: Take Cutie to School for a tour. (Early May after the two full weeks of state tests for 8 year olds.)

Step Three: Tell them what an independent worker she is: Makes animation movies, writes and illustrates comic books,is a mayor of Sim City 3000. (Make sure she tells the principal how hard it is to be a Mayor and doesn't tell them about cousin Vinny and the cheats) and explain she has made a few friends who are in the MAC program. Oh, and somehow let them know that her dad's an astrophysicist and that we have giant telescopes at our house.



I'm so opportunistic.
