And so it begins

My spy at daycare tells me that yesterday, Owen and Delaney were fighting over a book which resulted in Owen giving Delaney what could best be described as NOT a gentle touch. Ms. Tasha, Owen's teacher, reminded Owen that hitting is not allowed and that he needed to apologize. Owen, feeling penitent, offered the proverbial olive branch and took Delaney's hand.

A moment later, Ms. Tasha announced that they were going to go for a walk. Owen immediately looked for Sophia, who is his usual walking partner. But Sophia, having observed Owen holding hands with Delaney, and who is nobody's second choice, refused Owen's entreaties. Owen slunk back to Delaney and took her hand again. This angered Sophia further, as she was really just playing hard to get, and so she marched over to Owen and started demanding, "Hand! Hand!"

We've decided that it's probably a good thing that Owen will be far, far away for Valentine's Day. We just hope Mia and Matilda don't get burned at Angel Fire...

Owen was a true gentleman at Angel Fire. Mia really enjoyed playing in the cupboards with him!
