For days now Dashiell has been going on and on about a makeup gym class he is going to take with Mr. James, a super sporty guy in town who is one-part coach and one-part clown and teaches special gym classes at the Pre-K. The classes were scheduled in the winter, but with all the snow days, they missed a few and are now trying squeeze them into the last month of school.

Yesterday it rained again and his teacher told him that Mr. James makeup class would have to be postponed for one more day. Dashiell walked up to her and asked, “Mrs. Showell, when we do the makeup class are we putting the makeup on lips or our cheeks?”

She said it was very hard to keep a straight face and try to explain that it wasn’t a makeup class it was a make up class.

Even funnier, later that day the boys were up in my office playing on the computer and when I came up this morning I found the father from my dollhouse wearing the mother’s gold beaded necklace. Now, Conrad is a lego.com hog and I’m sure Mr. Dashiell had to occupy himself while waiting for his brother to let him have a turn and apparently he did.
