		<description>Single Parent Dad: A good day squared. : &gt; ) It is such a brittle time. I know from the things I&#039;ve read that you have written, your Max was in wonderful hands and he was lucky to have you walk him to the door. 

Randi: He was SO excited you wouldn&#039;t believe it. You would think we told him he would be spending the entire day eating chocolate ice cream instead of learning another language. He loves his teacher and feels so ready to face the school year. And yep, you&#039;ve got it, Cindy and I need to step up our game or face the reality of constantly being outwitted by our offspring. 

Janice: He was so so so thrilled. He adores his teacher and said that he didn&#039;t have any difficulty understanding what she wanted him to do. That was the biggest relief since the first days of kindergarten are already a transition without the added variable of a second language. I know what you mean about their size too, both our progeny look like they added at least a handful of inches. 

Marilyn: Thanks, Marylin. It did have its own bit of magic. 

Cindy: No kidding, my lady. We should start watching the Simpsons in Spanish. One a night, we&#039;ll be fluent by the end of the school year. What do you say?

Jeb: I loved this comment, Jeb. It was my absolute pleasure. 

Laurie: I would gladly get you lunch Laurie, and I&#039;m sure you would have been a sterling teacher for my only son. : &gt; )

Hayden: That is just too too sweet, Hayden. That totally made my Sunday when that comment came in. Tell your husband I said thank you for the interest.

Trina: I hope it is filled with all three of those in equal measure. Thanks Trina, I&#039;m thrilled you like reading my experiences. That&#039;s the kind of thing that gives the writing purpose, beyond getting it out of my head and onto the page.</description>

		<description>I love reading your expereinces, as it  makes me smile, occasionaly laugh, sometimes cry, and always sends me back in reverie. Enjoy your new found freedom, may it be filled with paying work, fulfilling work, and some downright reckless frivolity too.</description>

		<description>You know what is interesting?  I follow about a million blogs and as far as my husband is concerned, it&#039;s all one big blog blur.  He sort of tunes it out.  But for some reason, he remembers you and he remembers WriterDad.  

Every once in a while he&#039;ll ask me a question about &quot;the blog with the kids&quot; and what you&#039;re all up to.

I think it&#039;s because he was in the room with me each time I&#039;ve watched the videos with Max and Mia.  They were so adorable, they were so interesting and funny, that out of everything I follow - he actually remembers them the best.</description>

		<description>I just wish Max was in my kindergarten class.  I would have loved to have him for a student and you and Cindy for room parents!!  I bet along with calling you Writer Dad, I could call you Cody Dad, reader Dad, and go get the teacher lunch Dad! ;-)</description>

		<description>No surprise, of course, but Sean, you&#039;re such a great story-teller. It&#039;s a rare quality, really...which is strange, and sad. Yours is a great story, each day, each chapter, but yours isn&#039;t the only one. To take nothing away from you Sean, we all have sometimes glorious, other times sad, always inspiring stories to share. But we&#039;ve forgotten how, and why, to tell them. We&#039;re too far removed from the days when our very sustenance required every ounce of passion/effort/determination/love we had. In those times, it must have felt natural to tell our tale...it was likely as much a part of the day as the story itself.

Thanks for getting me thinking, of you and yours, yes, but of me and mine as well. And of paths yet to travel that may, one day, bring us back &#039;round to the best of times.</description>
