Waddler B has been a hotbed of gossip recently.  Not only did we get a contrite letter from the little angel's main classroom teacher telling us (gasp!) she realized after her month-long vacation that she needed to get a full-time job, but also the carpets will be cleaned next week.  Oh, the drama.

The little angel's favorite teacher at Waddler B, S., has long, thick hair in brown and sometimes fushia, which is arranged high on her head in solid cornrows.  The little angel adores S.  She used to squeal in delight to see her even in the first few scared days at The Emerald City.  I suspect S. will take over for the main teacher - at least I hope so.  She seems to be the Elmo of The Emerald City, if you know what I mean.  The fact that I recently gave the little angel my childhood Cabbage Patch doll, which just happens to be African-American and with braided hair, only fuels the S.-adoration fire.

About a month ago, the little angel learned to blow kisses.  I can't really remember how.  I might have taught her, having something of a flair for the dramatic myself.  However, she's taught the others, and now any exit from Waddler B feels like the departure of a crazed, miniature Love Boat.  Not only do they make the motion, they make the noise.  MWAH!

Finally, the kitty shoes.  Ah, the garish kitty shoes that the little angel picked out herself.  THEY ARE TOO SMALL.  See how fast this happens?  We bought those at the end-of-summer sale, oh, a month ago?  I fear the day we will have to try to get her to wear something other than her kitties.  She LOVES her kitties.   Maybe I can find something equally hideous for fall. 

Speaking of that (oh, it is a rambling post), I have recently discovered the Joy of Ebay.  What with the kitty-growing-out-of and the opinions-on-clothing developments, it's hard to take the little angel into a store without her opinion (and oh, we have not developed her taste well yet).  If offered two cute things, she is satisfied to make the decision.  If offered a store full of the good, the bad and the ugly, she will become fixated on anything bearing kitties.  Even scary kitties wearing tiaras.  Plus, even with shipping, Ebay is unbelievably cheap, and there's the thrill of the chase.

MWAH!
