I was doing my laundry this day, when Nina showed up and said “My do.” I explained that white stuff went in a separate pile. I told her this precisely once. She then sorted my laundry, pressed the correct buttons, added imaginary soap (while I added real soap) and she slammed the drawer for the soap shut.

Ian: “Nina, look up! Nina has really pretty eyes when she looks up.”

Daycare Sheet, March 16th
Nina’s Daycare Caregiver: For art she glued fruit loops on her rainbow! She did very good at matching the colors.

Dialogue, March 17th
I took the kids to one of our local parks. If I had had a stopwatch handy, I would not have had time to start it before Ian made a friend. His name was Adam and Ian simply walked toward the park, and before his feet hit the park surface he yelled “what’s your name?” The boy did resist Ian’s friendship a bit, but they played together anyway, and it was pretty heartening. At some point Ian met Adam’s dog whom Adam described as a super fire dog. Ian told him that his dog needed spots to work at the fire-station.

Daddy: “I don’t know where she went, I guess she has to go consult her oracle or something.”
Ian: “Insult her orkle? Daddy talks kinda funky now.”
