Day 1941. It's the last week before Christmas, and it's just as busy, if not more.

On Monday Sammy had his first horse therapy session since this summer. That meant that he stayed home with me, when Randy left with the other two at 8:30 to take them to kindergarten. It also meant that there was no sleeping for me, being alone with Sammy.

Day 1938. After a long day yesterday we had another long day today. We had to leave the house half an hour earlier than yesterday, at 9:30 am, as the Christmas party was starting at 10 am. We took the subway downtown, then walked to the music school and got there right on time. We already knew from the past two years what to expect.

Day 1937. This morning we left the house together at 10 am. We took the subway downtown, then walked to their music school, where their weekly class was to start at 10:30 am. Randy and Sammy stayed outside, while I went into the classroom with them. After Emmy had not behaved too well these past two weeks, he finally did today and got the gift he could already have received two weeks ago.
