Ellie's friend A is 6 months older than Ellie. Back in Feb, A got a bike for her birthday. Ellie tried it but couldn't get it although she can ride a trike. I bought Ellie her bike and put it away for her birthday, thinking maybe she would get it in a few months. Then, while we were in NM visiting my parents, they bought her a bike and she just got on it and rode.
I think part of it is her personality - she is physically adventurous (riding the skateboard, surfing, jumping in the pool) but I think Joe is part of it too. They really bond by doing slightly scary stuff. He's very good at encouraging her and pushing her without being pushy. He wasn't so good with the infant phase but he's great with the little girl phase.
(Didn't I say I was going to bed. I'm downstairs having cereal now.)
Or smell. Or hit me. (The sprogs, not the friends.)
eh, I might give my friends back too if they started smelling and hitting me.
Rum??? Vanilla??? Cream???? Why do I only learn this now?
Still, mine took about an hour to solidify.
Matilda's been in 12-18 months forever but is slowly, slowly edging up into 18-24 and the smaller 2Ts. More or less. Apparently baby and toddler clothing is just as crazy and random with the sizing as adult--she still has a couple of 6-9 month jackets and onesies that fit. We'd be delighted to take anything too small for Liv.
Ok. So Noah and Grace BOTH fall into that model of being in clothes forever. Though today Grace wore a gymboree veggie dress and I think it was the first time she was in a 12-18 months and it fit. Noah needs 12-18 month pants because of his big ole belly, but they are all extra long and almost manpris on him.
Had a flat tire today due to a bolt in the tire. Gotta get it fixed tomorrow.
Was the flat tire right after "lunch" or did you manage to get nearer home?
I managed to find my registration sticker. I had stored it in my glove compartment. In December. Flake.
Clafouti verdict: Jesse's recipe is just on the edge of how much egg flavour I can take. So I dressed it with rum cream. But damn, those hot cherries are tasty! I wish I were still hungry. Any other good hot cherry desserts?
I wish I had more cherries. I made two pies with the ones off my sister's tree. I'll have to plan ahead for next year's harvest.
Stephanie, Frisco is such a pretty little boy! mmm, he's delicious. And Barb, your daughter is lovely.
WRT kids' clothes: I have a bag of stuff for you, Kat, for both Noah and Grace (but the Grace stuff won't fit for a while). And I have a bag of other assorted dresses and outfits that Frances has outgrown. I donated a few big bags to JWC, but saved the nicest stuff since I knew I'd find takers here. Feel free to contact me if you're interested.
That pig kinda freaks me out. He doesn't look like a monkey, he looks like an ogre.
I am so tired, a combo of not much sleep and having to fast until about noon. Ooof.

Man, I want to send this article to about fiddy million middle-aged relatives as a cautionary tale that they should forward to EVERYBODY THEY LOVE and put sparkley angels at the end.
I have a pint of fresh raspberries that I need to do something with. Would they work in a clafoutis?
Scratch Clafoutis, I have no rum.
Why is the rum gone?
ION, Priscilla is on Logo right now!
