Every Monday and Wednesday, when I pick Michaela up from MDO (Mom's Day Out), we go through an after "school" ritual.
First, we have to go look at the empty church. Michaela calls it going "to see no people." She likes to see that it is a school day and not a church day, and thus there are no people in church. (MDO is held in the same space as Sunday nursery for church, and staffed by the same person.)
Then, once we finally get outside, she has to "around" (run around in circles) in the grass, and go check the bushes for squirrels.
When the weather turned cool enough for her to need a sweatshirt in the morning (which she refuses to take off once we get there), I started joking about how I couldn't see her near the bush (green sweatshirt...green bush) as a way to diffuse the get-into-the-car-right-now situation (make her laugh and distract her in order to get her in the car).
She took it to a new level today. Where's Michaela??
