  • A few quick things:

    Haley came over, and Madeleine told her that her shirt said, "New York" on it.  Isn't she old enough for kindergarten yet?  Another year still?  Really?

    Grant likes to pop out at you and say, "Hi Grant!"  Maybe he is suggesting what we should be saying to him?  He also says, "Yay Grant!" very enthusiastically (for example, when he puts a ball in the ball chute).  Haley was teasing him about not being very humble. 

    I was asked to be a guest judge for a lego competition, and I did it, but I was so full of crap.  It sounded sort of like I knew what I was talking about:  I wrote lots about each entry, discussing things like colors and shapes and lines and details.  But I'm still secretly thinking (well, not-so-secretly thinking now) that it's all crap and I'll be laughed out of lego-dom.   

    Brian is playing letter games with the kids, and Grant just found the letter Q faster than Madeleine did.  Grant is really learning a lot of letters and numbers now.  When Madeleine was little I'd quiz her and see which ones she knew and write them down in my blog.  Now I just think, "oh good, he's not a complete dummy" and go off and try to play a game or make something or clean a bit...  Poor second child.  So neglected. 

    Toodles!
