Two stories about Tara:
1) I didn't send Tara to preschool when she was three, but midway through the school year when she was four, a kid moved away so there was an opening and I enrolled her.
All the other kids had been in Phyllis B.'s preschool for at least 4 months when Tara showed up for her first day of school in January. Tara immediately started bossing everyone around and showing them where to hang their coat and telling them where to sit on the little carpet squares.
Phyllis said it was hysterical to watch the other children as she mothered them all, they didn't know what to think of this bossy new student.
2) Tara always loved to take care of babies and toddlers. When she was still young herself (third or fourth grade) every Sunday after Primary she would go into the nursery and play with the kids. There was a single mom with four little kids, and every Sunday Tara would help the little kids get their coats on and help their mom get them out to their car.
