Today is Cookie's last day of kindergarten. On the one hand, it seems so long ago that we scurried out onto Railroad Avenue and went around the block to put him on the school bus for the very first time. Then he changed schools and rode a different bus. Then he changed his address again and can walk to school (though I prefer to drive him -- Mojo walks too slow).

They are amazing chimpz -- able to absorb all that change with barely a hiccup. But as much as we've been through in the last six months, I still feel the urge to scream: "School is over already!"

Last night he went to a birthday party then stopped to pick out gifts for his teachers. Maybe Alane will tell the story.

Cookie's growing up. Fast.
