Hazel made (with some help) chocolate covered strawberries, and I made mushroom Alfredo pasta and sous vide scallops. Hazel made me a card, and wrote "I love you" in Chinese!
Hazel’s afterschool program had a "showcase" yesterday, where each class did a dance routine, and they had projects from the last few months on display. Hazel loved performing the routine.
We hung out, read books, played, and went to Kidspace. Margot plays really well on her own and I join her now and then between laundry and packing for our trip for some fun with blocks, legislation, and dancing to Gin Blossoms. She is my

I don’t think I’ve ever met a person as enthusiastic about passion fruit as Margot, especially for a toddler.
