You can just wipe that off your shoulder.
Nope, not that kind of mush.
My favorite part of it all was, as lovely as it was to snuggle, there were no baby-wanting-of-my-own pangs.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Always Anti-fascist!
I had those at Disneyland once. But not often since...very cute kids that day, and one little girl was hanging around the back of mom's wheelchair being all "Please?" and stuff about something. Buffistas have cute kids.

Silence means security silence means approval
I'd say they kept an eye on her, but basically let her do her own thing. The head teacher admired her cuteness and her smile, and said she'd catch on in a few weeks.
And she will, probably. And even if she doesn't, she'll eventually at least attempt to conform.
I think part of the problem is that we walked in as story time was just getting underway. We didn't see all the wrangling that probably happened to get the other kids around that table.
One thing that Susan didn't mention -- as a white girl, she is in a minority in this classroom. There's only one other girl, and there's only one other white kid.
I only mention this because Seattle is about 95% white, 4% Asian, and about 34 blacks and 12 Hispanics. IOW, Seattle is so white that when the sun shines you can see the people from orbit.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I thought at least two of the little boys were white, though I only really remember the cute little redhead who seemed to fancy Annabel. But there was also that really dark-haired, fair-skinned boy.
But yeah, another plus for this center was that Annabel will realize that not everyone looks like us, which in our neighborhood and our church isn't necessarily obvious.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
In case I'm not the only one bored and window-shopping, Amazon is having a shoe sale.

Perfect timing Jessica - thanks! I just got another $50 gift cert for Amazon. This was in recognition of all that overtime I put in to keep us on track. Now if they would just GIVE me the gift cert that I won a month ago I'd have $100 to go blow on retail therapy.
Yeah, what is really gonna happen is I'm gonna end up spending it all on the kids for Christmas cause otherwise they ain't getting nuttin.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Ooooh, shoes.
I'll be in SF for Turkey Day, it looks like. That'll be good.
Now I have to go home and get through the evening. I think I'll try sleeping. It's a novel thought.

Sleeping infants are the best. I think it comes under the "all baby animals are cute" thing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Sleeping infants aren't just cute, they are the most angelic creatures in the world.
