Notes to self:

1. Work on his math skills.
2. Emphasize that there aren't many jobs for philosophers, and they don't make much money.


Conversation on the way home from preschool today:
Leo: Mommy, do you know what God made 1st, 2nd, and 4th?
Me: No
Leo: Guess what God made first.
Me: The sun.
Leo: No, it's sparkly and it's in lightbulbs.
Me: Oh, light.
Leo: Yay, Mommy! What did God make second?
Me: The moon?
Leo: No, they grow really tall. (reaches up with arms)
Me: Trees!
Leo: Yay! Fourth?
Me: I don't know.
Leo: They turn red and green and tell you when to go.
Me: Street signs?
Leo: Yay, Mommy! (big long pause.........) Mommy, what if I am the only thing that is real, and everything else on Earth is pretend?
Me: Leo, there are some questions that you need to hang onto and ask when you get to college.

Appointment TV

Leo has a new favorite show on PBS - Super Why! If we miss it, the scene isn't pretty. So since we live in the Dark Ages and don't have a DVR - and the VCR is a pain - we're doing our best to be here at 2:30 every day.

A Rainy Sunday

Leo has been telling us for a long time that he wants to ride the scooter he got WHEN HE TURNED ONE out on the sidewalk. Sometimes he gets ahold of things like this and can't let go - don't know WHERE he could get that little trait from.

So I got suited up in my new Beco. Isn't it beautiful? It moves the weight to my hips and everything is much more padded. And it has clips instead of straps that have to tie - we love it.

So we get outside, and Leo FINALLY gets this checked off his list.

So we switch to the bike and head to the park.

We had been watching these clouds...we thought they were moving away from us, but we suddenly realized we were being surrounded. Leo was really disappointed, so I had to think fast and come up with an alternative plan. We headed home.

The alternative plan was to go to the "Funky Mall" (TJMaxx and Garden Ridge Mall) and ride the quarter rides. We raided Daddy's money jar and loaded up in the car. We beat the rain, and Leo thought it was a great afternoon.
