After spending the entire summer with me, Cami is having to get used to staying home while I go to work. She does pretty well, but she clearly isn't happy. When things settle down at work, I'll start taking her on daily outings in the evenings. Right now, after the first week of school with sixth graders, I'm tired. Cami also spent two days at my parents' house playing with their dogs. They learned how to turn on an outdoor water spigot. They're so smart.
