Happy Birthday, Bug!
Jan. 12th, 2011 09:58 amThe Bug turns two today. He's enjoying a celebratory breakfast of cheerios at the moment. There will be wrapping paper to shred and cupcakes later. And there will be a little family party at Mom's on Sunday, weather permitting.
Have started "school" with The Miss. Our neighbor gave me one of those prep-for-kindergarten workbooks, and while most of it's too advanced for her right now, we've been using it for numbers practice and vocabulary. She can count up to 6 (if she's cooperating) by herself, and she counted with me to 11 yesterday. She's not that cooperative today, but we're trying anyway.
In other family news, Grandma is not as better as she wants everyone to think. And her trying to hide the fact is making Mom crazy. No news for a while about my uncle, although I'm not inclined to care too much, except that it's one more thing stressing Mom out.
We got 7" of snow, I think. Spent a good chunk of Monday afternoon outside in it, playing with The Miss and our neighbor's daughter. The Bug is not a fan of snow, especially when The Miss rubs it in his face.
The Sock Report: I have been shamefully negligent of my sock knitting, and there is no progress. Bad knitter, no cookie.
The UnSock Report: am 2/3's through the afghan I started for The Miss, and have used half a box of yarn. The doll I made for a friend is still sitting next to the computer, waiting for me to figure out how her face should look, and waiting for a dress. Haven't done anything on the Hitty dolls in an embarrassingly long time, same goes for the doll house. Maybe later this week.
