Ba starts learning about hair

Ba did Eleanor's hair for the second time ever this morning. The first time involved a clip bow, and he got a good chunk of hair into it but instead of pointing the hair to the side, he clipped it with the tail to the front. Not a good look. This morning I thought a headband would be more Ba's speed. The first attempt is odd but promising!

I can read!

William wanted to read me the books at bedtime tonight - a first! I was interested to see what he meant by reading, and planned to humor his request by being sufficiently impressed by the effort. I wasn't prepared for him to recite all of the words to a 22 page Thomas the Tank Engine book and the much shorter "Llama Llama Nighty Night!" He humoresques me by letting me take a few pictures.

Tee tee turtles

William's turtles get to air dry on the rack today.  The pink one is Eleanor's, but pink turtle loves purple turtle (it's complicated), so William keeps them together at night which is where the problem starts.  When William's diaper leaked in his bed, it woke him up, and he came to our bed, and leaked some more.  Upon surveying the damage in the morning, the turtle trio, and two beds of sheets and mattress pads went into the laundry.  After washing everything, William let me know that he also leaked on his kitty cat, so she needed to be washed also, and he put her into the laundry hamper like the OBEDIENT child he is!

Gimme a break!

I still haven't learned to be careful what I wish for...

Bonding with Ba Co

Eleanor had a little bonding time with her Ba Co, and Ba Co rewarded El's sweetness with a first taste of watermelon.

Uncle Mac's last day on the block

On Uncle Mac's last day on our block, a tree limb fell, so he and his chainsaw paid a visit. An Uncle Mac visit means William can practice being a manly man - wearing Kelly's cowboy hats and work gloves, sitting in the bed of pickup, and "fixing" with a variety of screwdrivers and wood pieces. We're going to miss Uncle Mac!

Baseball with Ba

Ba sent Eleanor and me the following text from the Astros game:
"Eating peanuts and egg rolls (flautas) and ice cream!!! Loving life."
