Time flies

[gekidazejanai]

I can't believe it's already the end of January. Where did this month go? With everything going on, I guess time just flew right past me. And now I'm coming upon the prospect of having to corral preteens on one of the worst holidays ever for order and productivity in a classroom. That's right, this will be my first Valentines Day as a teacher. *shudder* Thankfully, my own plans have been scheduled for that weekend, which shouldn't be an issue in any way since Arashi will be my my parents. Though I've been informed that on Valentines Day itself, we're watching Disney princess movies because the princesses always fall in love and get to marry their princes. In four year old logic, it's the perfect way to celebrate a holiday that's all about love. And speaking of the four year old, her birthday is in less than two months. Which means that she'll be starting kindergarten this spring. Am I ready for this? Ready for her to be in school and not just day care? Does she really have to grow up? How much longer until she comes home talking about having a boyfriend? *sigh* I need to stop overthinking this, I know. But, how can I not think about it, you know?

I like her idea. Much more straightforward than some of the ideas grown women (and men) have about the day.

They grow up so quick, don't they? Enjoy the time you have with her now. Because you can't get the time back once its gone.

And give her a hug from me. I'll have to bring her something for Valentines.


[ooc: Yuushi will bring over a Disney princess outfit complete with tiara for Arashi to wear. That way she can be a princess too!]

It is a nice plan. And I'm savoring this sort of thing because I know she's going to grow up and want to spend it with some boy someday.

God, they really do. It makes me wish I could spend more time with her every day, but I love my job too.

I'll be happy to, and you'll make her week with that.

It's always difficult to choose between career and family, but you do a good job of balancing the two.

I always like making her week!

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I usually do too, but sometimes it's nice to hear from someone else.

You do a great job of it.

She is growing up so quickly. I'll miss her at my daycare. And I look forward to that plan of yours. I have a few ideas as well. It's our first Valentine's Day as well.

She really is, and I know she'll miss being there. But maybe then she can start calling you something other than Sensei. Something more...family related. It is, that's very true. I'm sure you'll enjoy what I have in mind. Are you joining us for disney movies? Yuushi's buying her a princess dress and a tiara.

It will be sad but she'll look so cute in her kindergarten cloths. I...you have no idea...how happy that would make me. But I won't make her. She will do it on her time or not at all

I think I will. I wouldn't miss seeing a little princess.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

She really will, I'll have to get lots of pictures of her. It would make me happy, too. But she'll have a new teacher, so she'll have to start calling you something other than Sensei no matter what.

Thank you. I will need another adult there to keep me from going crazy. I love Arashi, that's not even a question, but I can only handle so many kid movies before I start climbing the walls.

May I have a picture of the two of you for my wallet? _Papa We'll just have her decide what to call me

I watch them all the time. They aren't that bad. But I'll be happy to keep the two of you company.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Of course you can. That would be perfect if she picked it. But yeah, we'll let her pick unless she asks for our opinions.

Yeah, but you can distract yourself by making sure all your charges are behaving. It seems more concentrated when there's only one kid to keep track of. And you know we're both always thrilled when you do. Bring some of my hair ties with you. I'm running out and I don't want to have to go fight the pre-Valentines crowds to get more.

[zen-of-kabaji.livejournal.com]

I have just the spot for it.

I suppose that's true enough. All right. I'll return some of them. I've gotten quite a collection going.

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah? We'll make sure to take a good one for you then.

I don't need a ton, just a handful or so.

(ooc: In a day or three, Fuji should be contacting the two of you to arrange a "family photo" session. He's been instructed not to say who is paying for it, but who knows if he'll say anyway ;-) It is Atobe's Valentine's gift for you all.)

[gekidazejanai.livejournal.com]

(ooc: Congratulations, Atobe. You've spared yourself a swift kick to the shin. ^^)

[atoberex.livejournal.com]

(ooc: Gee, Arashi and Kabaji both love Atobe...I wonder who might have wanted to kick him! ~^)

(ooc: I know, right? Complete mystery. ~__^)
