Hi, Baby!

Hope you had a restful Labor Day Weekend!

Just wanted to touch base super quickly about starting The Twos next week.

First off: We’ve gotten a LOT of interest from Teacher Amy and Teacher Lori, who are basically begging me to set a meeting with you. They’re huge fans, and whether or not it’s a good fit creatively, I think it would be worth having a conversation. If you knew how many emails I’ve gotten in the past week — it’s borderline insane lol!

Anyway, they can do a one-hour gentle phase-in on Monday the 9th from 9-10am EST, and then two hours on Tuesday the 10th, at 9 with a hard out by 11am EST.

Let me know if we can go ahead and set!

Relatedly, leading up to it we’d love to get you over to scout the location for a quick cubby visit — just to get a lay of the land before things get going!

Would this Friday at 9 work?

Which brings me to the Class Playground Meetup tomorrow afternoon. So I tried to see if there was ANY wiggle room on this but unfortunately it’s looking like the the playground visit WILL be at the location with the scary twisty slide from the Stuck Croc Incident, but I’m told it’s not an issue and you don’t have to go down the slide.

Ok phew! That’s a lot but let me know what you think when you’ve had time to digest!

So excited for you!!

Mommy


Hi, Mommy,

Wow. That’s “a lot” indeed.

I’ve thought about it and sadly I’m not sure I can make any of that work. Please pass along my thanks to Lori and Amy for reaching out — and maybe we’ll work together down the line.

And to save you time, I’m not going to agree to anything at the Twisty Slide Playground.

CC’ing Cozy Elephant who can take it from here if you have questions.

Best,

B
