him and her
Nov. 9th, 2008 08:14 pmToday with Dillo and Casper.
I could post every day about how darling Dillo is. It's just an intensely cute age, and he is a sweet sweet kid (except when he doesn't want to go to bed and says "mommy? mommy? mommy? for an hour in a row.) I spent a lot of time one on one with him today, as mr. flea went in to work at 7:30 and Casper slept in until nearly 10, then was off to lunch at a friend's house by 11:30. We played with the Little People and those balloons that you blow up and let go and they squeak and fly around the room deflating, and watched some Clifford together all wrapped up in a blanket sitting on our sheepskins on the couch. We broke out the 3T clothes because he is so picky about clothes right now and wants only certain pants; this gives us more options even if things are a little big still. Given his druthers he'd wear the Thomas pajamas Cashmere sent all the time. I cut his hair on Friday night and it actually came out okay; he looks more round-faced with short hair.
Casper was all full of mysterious 5 year old stuff today, wearing her new 'fancy pants' (embroidered jeans from Target) and spending most of the day with friends, with A. at lunch and then off to a playdate at E.'s house that lasted 4 hours. When I met mr. flea and the kids for dinner I asked Casper what she and E. did and she said, "nothing." Mysterious girl! They picked out some good-looking early readers at the library yesterday; we have been doing some sounding out and identifying the "popcorn words" in our Mo Willems Elephant and Piggie books, which are great first readers. (Popcorn words are common ones that they are learning to recognize on sight and not have to sound out - a and I and is and he and and and so forth. In class they "butter them" with yellow crayon.)
ION is there any reason NOT to buy new Garnet Hill flannel sheets, a set of flat queen, 2 cases and 2 shams, on ebay when they are selling for $6.50? To buy an approximately matching fitted sheet is $56 from Garnet Hill. And I am in the market for queen flannel sheets. Ebay does mystify me...
