SEX!

"No, you have sex!"

"No, YOU!"

"YOU!"

Welcome to my morning. That was all AFTER I dropped the kid off at school, so no - we're not dealing with that yet.

I just love the smell of bannings in the morning. It smells like utter failsauce.

(The upside to this is that there's little more that could be worse, so the rest of the day can't help but be better than that.)

To the good, we've gotten the fingerprinting done again - yes, AGAIN, they expire - for adoption package #2, and took the opportunity to go visit a K-5 school for kid to move into next year in August. They want to test him. We just rolled our eyes - but I can see their concern. MUCH happier with the ethnic mix there as well - verra Asian, lotsa brown kids. I'm racist? Why, thank you. THIS IS GOOD FOR OUR FAMILY. Again, we're the minority and I like it that way. Kid will fit right in. (They also teach piano as part of their music program. Mamma likes this a LOT.)

And so it goes.

I cannot applaud loudly enough about the school choice thing. I think it made a HUGE difference in our kids' lives that they went to a school where there were other kids of Asian background, and African American, and Latino, as well as mixed kids and kids with two moms (I don't specifically remember any with two dads, but there may have been) and transracially adopted kids...

I don't need to hear it twice - 'I was the only one of me there.' Nope, not on my watch.

I like our school district for its diversity. Alan's probably a minority here (maybe 1-2 other Jewish kids) but that doesn't bother him or us.

Are you looking at a private or public school?

This is a *wee* private school that also offers daycare both before and after school - which is something we really need and appreciate having.

It's also nearly next door to the Madrona Marsh, and I suspect they leverage that resource rather heavily (on a regular basis, I hope!) -

I can relate to the before care/after care. Our district offers it in the school and makes our life a lot easier.

Wait, your fingerprints expire? I thought you were pretty much stuck with them all your life. :)

I know right?

[kyburg.livejournal.com]

Yup, your fingerprints have a shelf life. Who knew?

One of the most annoying parts of the adoption paperwork, IMHO.

You are awesome.

Period.

Aw, shucks. I'll live for two weeks on that. Thanks.
