Day 2311. I'd had a bad night of tooth pain and two kids next to me after going to bed late. I lay back down after everyone had left for school but the pain kept me up. At 11 am I got up as I had a 11:30 am student but he didn't show up. I could have stayed in bed!

Day 2309. After another short night it was tough getting up at 8:30 am on Saturday morning but I had a student at 9 am. I taught until 10 am, then I left the house with Tammy and Emmy to take them to their piano class. We did reading practice on the subway on the way there. The class started at 10:30 am, and for the first time our kids were the only one there for their class.

Day 2307. This was week 15 of school, and the kids learned their 15th letter, the letter "h". On Friday Emmy had a perfect score at the dictation again while Tammy made one mistake. She's also having a harder time reading, still confusing letters which Emmy does not do.
