Alvin

 Yesterday was a rocky start to the week. It felt like everybody, myself included, had a difficult time wrapping our heads around our work. After a meltdown and an opportunity to reset and begin again fresh, our days began to improve.  Sometimes I think we all need a redo, perhaps this is especially important during a stress-laden pandemic.

After a huge fuss, it turned out that Timmy had fun during Circle Time. For some reason he decided to change his name.  He insisted that his teacher call him Alvin during class and smiled like a silly chipmunk throughout the class. His teacher obliged without missing a beat and Timmy/Alvin could not have been happier. As class was ending, he told her that Timmy was back and that he would see her tomorrow. I guess he more just wanted to see if he could go by Alvin rather than actually wanting to become one.

In the afternoon Timmy was able to party with an elf at the North Pole (virtually of course). He was delighted albeit a little surprised to learn that he was still on Santa's Nice List. After our morning meltdown, he was fretting his status. Although our elf dance was set up weeks ago, the timing could not have been more perfect. Not only did Timmy have a great time, but his worries about list status were laid to rest. Momom doesn't hold a grudge, and now he knows that Santa doesn't either.
