(There was no way you would have ended up going off in the wrong direction, even if you were in the wrong line!) After that, we let you and Heather walk with her big brother--a 4th grader (practically a grown up). ;-) First day of kindergarten story for Siena–

I can't believe that we both got sick on Halloween. Tragic, for a kindergartner. And yeah, I went to JAS for a while too, but only one of my costumes survived. Heather and Gretchen did dance for years and years, and they recently gave us a huge box full of old costumes which the kids have been putting to good use. Adrianne, that’s so funny!

I was so bummed out that I couldn't go to school but Mrs. Krafka came to my house that day after school bearing an ice cream tub full of all the candy I'd missed. I've got to tell you that Siena looks just like you and I LOVE that picture of her dancing in the old dance costume....you went to JAS too right? Oh childhood memories......I remember walking halfway up the street to school during the winter and then deciding it was to cold to walk and walking back home.

Once my incomplete work started making me miss soft pretzel time at recess, I quickly discarded penmanship perfection for the perfect combo of salt and mustard on bread. Maybe that's why I still rush through my work to get a delicious doughy reward. Not a very helpful comment, but wanted to let you know I totally sympathize.

My advice is to stress the importance of frame of reference rather than degree of perfection. Since time is the ultimate of finite commodities, learning to partition this appropriately is universally important...and in research, essential. Identifying minutiae is only valuable if the disease will be closer to treatment. How to instill such reference in a child with the brainstorming capacity of a supercomputer? Well, that's probably one of the greatest things about being a parent, and at first glance: insurmountable. I suspect a frame of reference is important for the parent here as well. However, if Siena understands that legible letters will help her communicate better to the person who is reading, or coloring between the lines will make a more precise image that the viewing audience can identify - she'll figure out what's good enough and what isn't. Plus, and a big plus at that: if you're already perfect at 5? Those are shoes that will always seem a half size too big to fill when 6 or 30 come along.
