Wee Round-up

1) Today's Cautious Kids: This morning I read Rosie my fortune from last night's fortune cookie, which said "Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows." To which she promptly replied, "If you keep your face to the sun you will get a sunburn."

2) Last Night's Chocoholic: As we were getting ready for bed, she said, "Hey! "Her" and "She" are words that mean the same thing. But they also mean something different when you put them together. Her-shey kiss!"

3) Forgot to report: Sylvia rolled over last week, May 4. Wait, how was May 4 already last week? May, you are fast.


















4) Both babies are spending a fair amount of time contemplating their left hand. When they do it in unison it looks like I've administered something druggy.

5) Best of all, we had a wonderful visit last week from Uncle Scott and Aunt Karen, who were tourists by day and baby handlers by night. And Mom, of course, who didn't do anything touristy at all. She helped do buckets of laundry here and worked to get their apartment upstairs (best tenants ever) sorted out.

6) R is obsessed of late with poison ivy. Frightened, a bit, and fascinated. After spending recent weeks blithely saying that we live in a city and so there's really no poison ivy, I looked up a picture to show her. Lo and behold, the massive 8 foot tall plant growing on the chain link fence in between the playground and the preschool on our block is - yes, you've guessed it - poison ivy. Also, as Grandma Nancy pointed out, there is a much smaller sprig in our front yard. I will be weeding that out this weekend.
