Elliot sang songs and showed me his Rosh Hashanah art this morning at school. Then we went with the kindergarten class down to the creek to do “Tashlich”; throwing bread into the water while apologizing for any unkindness we can remember creating.

Elliot chose to apologize to the Farmette chicken. He also apologized to Grendel for being rough. I did not prompt him to choose those. It was so wonderful.

And Elliot told me to apologize for a time I was unkind to Allie, something I’d shared with him when he was feeling shame about the chicken incident at Farmette.
