Hey mom, pull my finger!
A lot of goings on around here, so let’s get started:
Work on the deck is continuing, though not as fast as I would like. There have been all kinds of delays: weather, injury, and prior plans. This weekend, I did make good progress on 1 day. I now only have 4 more boards to place to finish the area of the deck that extends from my patio door to the far railing. After that, I just need to fill in the areas on either side of the patio door. The one caveat is I need to get larger boards for the remaining row. The gap between the current board and the edge of the deck is 6.5 - 6.75”. The boards are bought are 1x6 (which is actually 5.5” or so wide). I now need to buy 3 1x8s and rip them to the 6.5” width. That should be fun.
Lauren is continuing to grow and do all kinds of fun things. This weekend, we drove by a man riding a horse and excitedly pointed that out to her. She proceeded to make a horse noise (kind of like a neighing, but a lot cuter) for a little while. She is still addicted to The Wiggles and loves to dance to them. Her favorite song has to be Rock a Bye Your Bear. I have a video that should be uploaded soon to show you some of her moves. The days of potty training are not far off either. She is eminently aware of her bowels. On many occasions, she pats her butt and says “Poo Poo!” Now, her accuracy rate for the actual presence of poo poo is around 34%. Not a bad number if you’re a hitter in the major leagues, but kind of annoying when have to constantly check her drawers. Our guess is she thinks she’s pooped when she passes gas. Daddy needs to teach her to not say “Poo Poo!”, but rather “Hey mom, pull my finger!”.
Tuesday was my birthday and thus ended my 1 month and 8 days of referring to Debbie as “old”. Those 38 days are, of course, her favorite time of year. I have no idea why she put up with me. With her parents in town, she had them run up to my favorite ice cream store and got a Cold Stone Cake. Knowing me as they do, the went with the Midnight Delight. Some might look upon that and think it is way too much chocolate. I say there is no such thing. However, as alternatives (because I know you all are wondering), I could also go for the Cookie Dough Delirium or the Cookies & Creamery. Not saying I need that, but if you want to send one of those my way, I would not object.
