Chuck D & Mr. T

Charlie “why does Teddy love singing sons about the flag?”

Two days ago I drove the twins at the last minute, right before dinner, to the pediatrician because Nelly had a sinus infection. she gets car sick going just around the block so i put her in a rain coat so that when she inevitably threw up she would stay dry. what happened? Scottie threw up instead. (and when i was carrying her into the office with no shoes or coat on, some man scolded me for not dressing her warmly enough).

Charlie is sitting in the stroller reading the sports page.

Charlie is singing a song he made up
I like to heart attack it
I like to heart attack it

To the tune of I like to move it move it

I had a dream about cornwallis surrender the other night. And the night before that an attack by Lego creatures and Mick Jagger was my orthopedic surgeon.

My grandmother Downey uses to show up to visit with a bright blue cardboard box filled with the most amazing ginger snaps. I loves them. I wish I knew the recipe she uses so I can make them
With the children. She used to let me bake them with her when I’d visit. She was an excellent cook. Julia Child always make me think of her. Similar hair, both capable in the kitchen, same
Happy enjoyment of cooking for others, both worked on cookbooks.

Huck and I go running in the early
Morning when it’s so nice and quiet and the sun is coming up. I love the morning. And I love petting my dog. And she loves leaning up against me as I stretch.

We have a problem getting charlie to sit in his chair to eat- he stands at the table. MJ has talent to saying through put meals “Sit down. Sit down. You’re not having lunch at a tapas bar in Spain.” Limited success.

Today we were down at jam pond and teddy said “This is the hundre acre wood. Owl is not home. Him is at work.”

Teddy has a real hop in his step. He literally hop-walks and hop-runs. It’s so cute.
