Rainy Day in December

The plan was to go to Story time at a distant (about 4 miles) library. The rain is keeping us indoors. Mr A said its odd that a bay area girl like me would let the rain stop her. Perhaps.

TR sat in the chair and lined up her nail polish bottles. She enjoys all things girly.

QT is hilarious to me. He is standing on my wicker basket passing out skittles. He managed to open a skittle candy cane I had decorating the tree. He tries to be fair. I had my hand out and TR had her hand out. He had two and he gave it great thought. He gave her one and me one.

I feel slightly bad for him because when TR opens her cane, its unlikely that she will share. We shall see.

The J & J folks are going to a museum for the next activity. It's one of the museums we frequent. I looked at the website for that Museum and saw a photo of TR. I nearly fell out of my desk chair. The photo is flashing and I wasn't really looking. I had my head turned away from the computer and felt like it was her photo in my peripheral vision. I turned and it was her.

The casting agent for 35 and counting, wanted to use TR in that movie. My baby had a work permit but I had not opened a Coogan account. I had not expected to get the permit on a Friday and her have a job by Sunday.

I think her personality comes out in photos. This weekend at the party I looked and saw TR talking to a woman. TR had her hand on the woman's shoulder and was serious about whatever she was saying. The woman was laughing. When I got close I asked the woman if TR had asked her for a cookie. The woman said TR had asked her where she was going.

TR notices adults and older kids. She asks them their names, and other questions. I think its so funny. She talks to adults but she maintains her child identity.

I love breakfast and lunch time and listening to the kids talk to each other. TR talks to QT like he has a full vocabulary. They laugh, she corrects him, he tries to protest, she uses her forceful voice and he usually listens to his big sis.

In my mind I am too old to produce more kids, plus I had high blood pressure with both, but I would have loved to have more. I would be driven insane for sure, but it would be a fun way to lose my mind. Kids keep life exciting.
