Did someone say....new shoes?

 

day five eleven - School's in forever

today is my first day of school. Sort of. It's called Mother's Morning Out and it is at the church down the street. Presumably it is going to be a lot like when mom and dad go to church on Sundays, but this time I'll be in the nursery for three hours. (For those of you who were curious, mom and dad aren't pentecostals - were they, I'd be used to being in the nursery for 3 hours). So, that means three times the goldfish and three times the juice of the normal one hour sentences I get at church. Also, it probably means three times the destruction as I throw toys and turn over bassinets for an eighth of a day.

I got new shoes for school at Target yesterday. They are sweet. Pictures should be forthcoming. Maybe after I get my first paid-for haircut this weekend.

I'll be sorry for this later

Dee Doll just mailed me this picture from the last time I was at her house.

A little explanation:

I was in the tub, relaxing, thinking how nice it would be to read The Grand Inquisitor chapter from the Brothers Karamazov again. I became myopic, and the thought became an obsession - to the point that I jumped out of the tub and pulled off every book I could lay my hands on until I found it.

I never found it. 

day four ninetytwo

Time is flying, and I have very few pictures to show for it. Mom says she took some that might be going up soon.

My paternal grandparents (Dee Doll and Papa Jim) came down and spoiled me this past weekend - took me out to eat, played with me, and all that good stuff. They were amazed at my vocabulary, or at least my understanding. They'd say "bring me the yellow ring" and I'd go pick it up and bring it to them.

Some of you may say that because I have never used the words 'bring,' 'me,' 'the,' 'yellow,' or 'ring' that this isn't really part of my vocabulary. Balderdash. I'm choosing the right time to bring them out. In that way, it's a lot like wine. Would you rather have Sutter Home or Chateau La Tour?

Exactly.
