Today was Emerson’s first official day at Wee Friends! Welcome, Emerson, Nicole and Jerry! We are so glad to have in the Wee Fam.

One of the big works today was the creation of a rolly polly habitat. As it turns out, Emerson is also a big fan of our beloved potato bugs. Well into our habitat hunt, Emerson expressed “I still miss my mom.” “Would you like to name one of the potato bugs after her?” asked a teacher. “That way, when you feel that aching for mom again, you can visit Nicole, check on her, and give her lots of love.” “SURE!” exclaimed Emerson in a high pitched voice filled with glee!

And so begins the creation of our first summer habit. We welcome our newest lovely namesake, Nicole the Rolly Polly. And her dear Emerson, of course.
