sorry to kill the thread with my ocd.

I have to share this - mac and his friend are playing with legos and figures, they have made up a story with good guys and bad guys are making decisions on how the story develops, not always agreeing, but working it out - they are having dialogue and multiple players - they have been at for over 30 minutes. I know that sounds like normal kid play, but mac has been unable to sustain play like this on his own with a peer until very recently. For example, when we play, I often have to supply all the dialogue and mac will just make sound effects or observe. Other times, he will get into a fight with a playmate with 5-10 minutes if there is any disagreement on how the story develops.

and yes, I am tearing up.

And not one 'on the rocks' joke? It's like they're not even trying.

awwwwwww--go Mac and msbelle!

Thanks Zenkitty. Now my daughter wants a set of Bronte dolls of her own! I had to break it to her that they don't really sell the dolls, but that she could still read the books.

That's wonderful msbelle.

Hey, I got the link from Shir. I accept no responsibility. Besides, I want them too.

off to McD with the 2 boys. I just finished my first cup of coffee and already it's time for lunch. yikes.

So, I wondered if this would happen...

I'm actually more amused than anything at this point.

I'm currently sitting on the wall of my patio, listening to the local (small) high school band play across the street at the car wash. They even have a flag corp of 4. Nice and random.

Only the LAistas can truly appreciate the hell my life is about to become. My commute already sucks (Pasadena to Brentwood), but they close the Sunset Bridge and the 405S between Getty Center and Sunset on Monday...for the next 20 months. No question, I'm going to have to leave the house at 6am in order to make it to school (which is on Sunset) on time. I kind of want to cry right now. Not just saying that.
