You Get More Done By Noon Than Most Toddlers Do All Day


Dear Laney,

Whew, big day.

First, we got up and went into town for Tiny Tot Tales at the library.


Instead of sitting with all the other kids, you just wanted to stand in front and keep an eye on things. I think the librarian appreciated that you clapped for her after every song or story. You also Hokey-Pokeyed your heart out, although you seemed to get a little fixated on the "turn yourself about" part, and just spun in a circle for a while. There's one at every party.

Then, you and Dad and I went to lunch at Famous Dave's, where you ate a bowl of macaroni and cheese and made some serious progress with your fork skills.



Why yes, your hair does look insane today. In fact, you look a little like Doc Brown in "Back To The Future." But that's what happens when you yank out your barrette, chew on it, and rub mac n' cheese in your hair. That's why you never read about that beauty regimen in ladies magazines - because it makes you look cuckoo.

We stopped at the Feed Store to buy some local eggs on the way home, and the Egg Lady thanked you for liking her eggs. I told her if she would also get into the cheese business, she could have a monopoly on your diet.

Here's a new habit you have: slinging open our front door and making a run for it. Dad foiled your runaway attempt by catching you before you hit the Idaho border.


I'm thinking we should attach one of those LoJack devices to you.

Love,
Mom
