1. I manage to finish writing the update about our summer and e-mail it to my friend in Denmark. 
2. First Em refuses to talk about it, then after an hour or so she comes downstairs to our kitchen to share details about the first day of her running for school students' president. 
3. Jay is eager to go through her English before bedtime with me to be reassured before her questioning tomorrow. I think she is doing really well, my girl.
