Will and I are sitting on the couch together, so what better time to make a blog entry than when we are together AND logged in to blogger.....
- Our friend Cindy (and Brian, but really only Cindy) just had her baby tonight!!!
- I'm annoyed with the snacks at Daniel's daycare. Morning snack: sugar cookie. Afternoon snack: chocolate chip cookie. Come on!
- Hmmmm. (That is a direct quote from Will.)
- Happy Birthday to Aunt Julie!! Looking forward to seeing Julie and Charlie on Thursday.
- Why do I need a turn? (Another quote from Will. Now you can see why his blog contribution is so high. :>)
- Annika is really enjoying "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. Remember those, from the late 1970s? We checked some out from the library and she LOVES them. I thought she would be freaked out about being eaten by piranhas, but no, now she wants to learn more about piranhas. Tonight, she told me a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story that she made up where I got to choose things like "was it an old or new castle?" (Of course, when I said "old," she said, "No, it was a new castle.")
- Annika really enjoys taking pictures with the camera. She is actually decent sometimes! Will showed her the zoom tonight and she is quite delighted by its features. I think the fact that it has an LCD screen that shows the picture really helps with the immediate gratification part.
- Daniel is a Whirlwind of Destruction (copyright Will). WATCH OUT! He will take the house down. I'm trying not to imagine life at 18 months.
Hope you are all doing well!!

I totally agree about the cookies - there should be a chocolate sugar cookie. Having the two separate wastes valuable cookie time.
I'm really glad kids still like choose your own adventure books. They're awesome! I have been afraid computers would wipe them out. Though it might be fun to make one up as a web page. Ooh, maybe Annika and I could make a choose your own adventure web site when we visit...that would be awesome. It could have a picture of a new castle!
I used to love Choose Your Own Adventure Books. I would sometimes go back a few decisions when I got eaten by piranhas, though.
I can't wait to see you this weekend!
Yay for whirlwhinds of destruction! And double yay for cookie snacks. OK, definitely not ready to be a parent.
So neat to hear how Annika likes the adventure books and is creating her own!! Will that replace her game of "saying the wrong thing" and then being corrected?
Wow, when I last saw Daniel the first of March he was just doing some crawling and kind of threatening to mess up whatever Annika was doing!
