Life really doesn't have to be so complicated

I was told today that Hannah was definitely in at Abbots Ripton. I was super excited. Then I come home and tell Dan the news and he tells me about how the head teacher cornered him asking why we were asking that Madison be transferred to Abbots Ripton. He told her how he preferred her to go to a smaller school and how her sister was most likely to get in and were glad she was since 5 of her classmates at the Montessori school are going there. She kept telling him that Hartford scored high on their test results, which they did this past December and how Madison was now one of the top students in her class. We had no idea she was now one of the top students...we knew she had been progressing but thought she was average. Dan was very pleased to hear that but still told her how he felt strongly about moving her to the new school come this September. I then get a call from the head teacher at Hartford scheduling a time for Dan and I to come in and speak to her and her teacher. I felt so bad and hate this kind of confrontation. I am torn since I know Hartford has done a superb job at catching Madison up and she does enjoy her school. We were having some issues earlier this year so we felt it was best to change schools to the original school we had wanted since we had a very good chance at getting both girls in with Reception having space. They don't like to split up siblings. Anyway...so I kept telling the head teacher how I know they are an excellent school and felt bad because I feel as though she feels we are offending them by wanting to change. So June 4th we have an appointment and we will see although, I think we are pretty set on Abotts Ripton as long as Madison gets in since I don't really want to be driving the two of them to two different schools.

Anyway...last night before the kids went to bed, Dan told them he would make them waffles in the morning since he would be staying up all night since he's now on the night shift, and they were excited. They love it when Dan makes waffles...especially Madison. She can wolf down 2 - 3 and they are big. Well I guess Dan was downstairs in the kitchen hugging Hannah and Madison was sitting at the table patiently waiting for him to start. About 2 minutes of waiting for Dan and Hannah to stop, Madison says, "Dad! Start the waffles already!" HAHA! That so sounds like me minus the fact I don't call Dan "Dad." It made us laugh.

Hannah is very sad her little Italian boyfriend, Ludo, is leaving in two months. I was talking to his mom about the two lovebirds and she was telling me how he talks about Hannah all the time. He was telling her about Hannah kissing him! I was like oh my gosh! Well his mom laughed and asked him if he liked it and he says, "YES!" I asked Hannah about this kiss and she told me first it was on the cheek and then she kissed him on the lips. She kills me! Dan and I are going to have trouble with her...I just know it.
