tunnels part deux

Each day at daycare, the teachers write some sort of short note letting us know how Ada's day went and any cute/funny things she did during the day. A lot of times these notes just let us know what color she fingerpainted with, or that they went outside. I usually glance at the note and think, note to self - that red on her shirt is from finger painting not copious amounts of blood. Today's note read, "Ada had lots of fun playing in the tunnel." That caught my attention, I had to have more details. Apparently, she was playing with the two boys in her class. They were running all around, in, and near the tunnel. Ada started out by hanging out near the end of the tunnel and laughing as they boys crawled through, then when she thought no one was looking she ventured inside. Cautious and careful. Once she made that break through she was ALL about playing in the tunnel. It only took one week. One week of watching the other kids, counting them to make sure that none of them were eaten up by the tunnel, and examining their fingers and toes to make sure everyone was Ok after playing near the tunnel. After this whole experience it won't surprise me in the least if Ada has a job where she has someone in charge of tasting her food before she eats it.
