[flea]

I heard Casper say "Alexander" today, or rather "Dander" which is a damn good approximation by a 15 month old. She also did a little meow like Ellen does. Ellen has taught her all the best words. They blew kisses to each other as we wheeled away from the house.

Mother of flea is coming tomorrow morning and staying through Monday afternoon. I hope she takes me well in hand on the topic of Xmas shopping; I need it.
