We and the kids had had conversations about the coronavirus situation and we had warned them that likely school would be closing. Connor was somewhat fascinated with that idea, but on the day when the school shared the news with the students, Connor felt completely different. The after school program called Stuart and he went to pick Connor up early. Connor shared that he was crying for a whole hour since he learned about the news, and that he was very sad about not able to go to school and see his friends.

Back in February, Stuart noticed Buddy had a minor limp. We watched him for a couple of days and finally decided to take him in to see a vet before the weekend. I got out from work earlier and asked Logan to accompany Buddy and I. Later Stuart joined us as well as the vet was close to his bus stop. The vet checked out Buddy and did not find any major issue, and just prescribed anti-inflammatory
and suggested resting for 2 weeks. We suspected the injury likely from him dashing down the staircase carelessly with his 95 lb body. Thus we decided to stop him from going up staircase and hold walkies for 1-2 weeks as his rest. But keeping this high energy Buddy running was definitely a chore. Few days later the limp did seem to improve. Over time, Buddy slowly returned back to his previous routine.

The last art class for Connor this year was held in February, thus it was my last assigned volunteering task. The kids were to use some magazine cut out to create something completely different from what the objects were, and made an artwork out of it. It was cool to see how imaginative the kids were, and especially when they also had to come up with a title for their artwork. This was an easy help from the parent, and thus it was fun to just walk around observing the kids. Helping out with art class is definitely my favorite volunteering task.
