Good morning! 

I think my kid’s GOTTA go to school today. 

This morning, I got yelled at because his Yogis tasted quiet and not loud. (I’m assuming this means they are stale because he left them in a bowl on the table).

I also got yelled at because he didn’t have enough milk in his cereal. 

Not sure how much more of this I can take without throwing down. 

OFF TO SCHOOL YOU GO, MY FRIEND. 

It’s been a pleasure being bossed around by you for the past few days. Now I’m ready to get some stuff done, thankyouverymuch.

Yesterday, Ankur was able to come home early and we went to Robert’s Pizza for dinner. An old patient at the rehab center Ankur works at has gifted all the employees at Northwestern a free lunch for the past couple of days. Just as a way of showing appreciation for, in his words, “allowing [him] to still be here today.” 

It’s a huge gesture and Ankur has noticed lots of pizza boxes around the rehab center over the past few days. So people are definitely appreciating the gesture too! 

We certainly did. It was a really nice night out. We haven’t gone out to eat at a restaurant in a while, but it felt like a nice treat (for the first half). 

Ishu was asleep in the stroller for the first bit of it. And then he woke up and did his toddler thing of demanding the ranch dressing and then getting mad if anyone used it. And then screaming if anyone got near the strawberry gelato for dessert. He didn’t like it. But he absolutely positively did not want anyone else to eat it either. 

Before leaving to head home, Ankur snuck in a few bites while Ishu wasn’t looking.

He’s a real little boss these days.

So, yes, OFF TO SCHOOL. 

BYE KID, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I ALSO NEED SOME SPACE SO I CAN BREATHE FOR A SECOND. SEE YOU THIS AFTERNOON.
