She's at St. Louis School in Alexandria - Fr. Jim Tucker is one of the Parochial Vicars of the parish. She likes it a lot. She even likes wearing the uniform. I can see how an eight year old would get excited about that. If she was any older she might fuss. She was previously attending the elementary school where we went as kids. Unfortunately the environment was not conducive to her learning anything other than how to talk back, cop an attitude, interrupt people when they were talking, blame other people when she made mistakes, and other things that kids learn from other kids who don't have a good home life. St. Louis will be good for her. I'll wait for a few years before I tell her about the Poor Clare Monastery just down the road from the school.
I just got off the phone with my sister, my niece's mom. She said a cop was parked across the street from their house for a while this morning. My sister looked out the window and said, "I wonder what he's doing there." My niece said, "Probably eating donuts!"
