Pretty cool. You color them, then put them in the oven and they shrink to 1/4 their original size.

Emotional day. First day of kindergarten at PS133. I didn’t get it, what was the big deal? Kate even had to convince me to go with them… I get/got it now.

The first day was short, and went real smooth. Noah adjusted quicker than we did.
