We just learned that our son has been selected by lottery for a performing arts magnet middle school. We've been hoping that he would get in during the first cycle, and he did -- this should play to his strengths (he's a scene-chewing ham of the nth degree) and support him through those difficult pre- and early adolescent years.

This calls for a celebration, and cake, and ice cream. Or an ice cream cake.

WHEEEEE!!!!!!!
