*Lu is a maniac on the stairs. She'll dive down head first trusting that you'll be there to catch her. And most of the time you will be. But every once in awhile, well let's not talk about it. Oh, and she has a DENT in the middle of her forehead that the doctor says will eventually fill back in. Nice.
*Madeline and Brenley played Stuffed Animal Barbershop recently, and I found locks of unicorn hair as well as very fine blonde hair. And Maddie's left side is a little layered now. Could've been a lot worse.
*Aaron's reading The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe with Maddie! It's her first real book and most of the time she fidgets until talk of sweets and cake, or something very silly happens, then she perks up. But she wants to keep reading it together, so we will.
*Maddie is kind of amazing me with her musical ear. She really prefers jazz to anything else, and hums along with Dave Brubeck, piano and sax solos and all. I'm waiting patiently until she has the attention span for piano lessons.
*We're taking our first mini family vacation next week! I think we're doing one day at King's Island (Maddie's nirvana) and probably a day at this amazing museum in Cincy. I think it will be fun/hellish.
*My friend Julie B. was talking about completing her 50 states sometime soon. Her goal is to visit all of the non-contiguous states (Alaska and Hawaii for those who skipped geography) this year. And then she listed some more out west, like Idaho and New Mexico and Oregon...and I REALLY want to go with her since I have friends in all those states! But I have no more vacation days left. Real Life, you are a real bummer sometimes.
*I have successfully organized a standing Girls Night Out date every Wednesday night with some really great friends. This is kind of big, since the guys have had a date night for the past 5 years. For some reason, it's hard to get the girls together. But I'm glad we did it.

I'm Glad you've organized a Girl's Night Out, too. I look forward tout & miss it when I, um, miss it. I like you, Steph.
We just began Luca's first 'chapter book' too. The Little Prince. I am not sure how much of it he gets, but he asks for more,too.
