I guess I should finish the thought. W emailed twice, then called before I had a chance to finish the replies. We talked a good long time.

Kids seem to be going thru something. It seems they are settling in to the routine and pushing back a little. Youngest is not sleeping well and cranky. Oldest has been bickering a lot.

W seems to be also pushing back against a few things. There were a few activities that were taking up a lot of her time. She felt she'd gradually got overinvolved and the leaders simply dumped a bunch of the work on her to do. This week she told them she was done. She plans to spend more time with kids.

She seemed kind of refreshed, confident, pleasant, and sharing. I was happy to share her time.
