Christmas and grades

It's over. I've turned in their grades, ruined their GPAs (probably not as much as they thought I would), and fled the state. Technically I left the state before doing those other things. I'm home now and loving being able to watch small children dance around the room wearing antlers.

Yesterday Toby and I spent the day together in Ann Arbor. We went to two stores and then I was tired. His energy remained boundless, as did his commitment to singing Christmas carols. Deck the Halls was a particular favorite. Sadly for me, he only knows the fa la la bits.

During our drive home, we saw a deer in the road. 
Toby: "Where did the deer go?"
Me: "It ran off the road."
Toby: "But reindeer fly!"
Involved explanation about how there are actually different kinds of deer.

Later we passed a reindeer made out of Christmas lights and he exclaimed, "We'll call that one Rudolph!" It was a good day. I'm glad to be home.
