Naomi Kenway asked if Ian had drunk enough at school. "Ian has been a little run-down lately, so I reminded him to drink plenty of water."
"Ian drank several glasses of water today, and at lunch, he ate an extra orange..."
Wendy Chandler briefly summarized Ian's day, then began to praise him profusely. "During class today, one of the children fell down, and Ian helped put a bandage on him. He's such a nimble-fingered little angel! Not only is he smart, he's so kind. How can there be such an adorable child..."
Wendy Chandler gazed at Ian, her eyes brimming with a smile.
Naomi Kenway ruffled Ian's hair. "You did a good job, sweetie. When we get home, how about Mommy bakes you your favorite cookies?"
Ian shook his head.
"Why not? Don't you love cookies?" Naomi Kenway's voice held a note of confusion.
