The college staff has all been gone the past week and a half, so the long days get to be just an extra bit longer. I am spending the last half hour that we are open with the littlest ones in the classroom that is also the gathering room. (It’s the room we all start out in during the early morning hours before we branch out to our respective rooms, and the room where we gather again as our numbers dwindle.)
Throughout those times, there she is. The Sparkly Princess. Children bring her to me with the plea, “Will you help me with this?” We begin with her face, because that is easiest (two pieces), then her hair (sparkly crown), then the edges and her gown down to her impossibly tiny feet. Then she gets broken up into her 28 pieces….. and we solve her again.
*sigh* She is my nemesis.

The days are going to get even longer, since yesterday was the Winter Solstice.
Wait… that wasn’t what you meant, was it?
Long live the Sparkly Princess! (Sorry. I don’t want to anger her.)

I want to get a bobby pin and pin the hair out of her face!
