We left for vacation last Thursday, stopping halfway in Iowa. Before Ava fell asleep at the hotel that night, and she confided in me that she was feeling pretty burnt out.
“Mom,” she said, “Preschool is just driving me crazy. My teacher has me doing all these five-year-old dot-to-dots, and I am just . . . ugh!”
I suggested vacation was just what she needed, and fortunately, we arrived at Gramma and Grampa Great’s cabin the next day. I think it’s fair to say that Ava got the rest and relaxation she needed. In fact, we all did—maybe with the exception of the Grandparents Great!
