Big Night

Today Annalee and I played with Play-Doh, ate breakfast, got dressed, grabbed lunch with Mom, played at the park for the longest ever, came home and napped, did a couple of errands, ate tacos for dinner, went to a bookstore and got four children's books, and came home and fell asleep (after asking twelve or fifteen times the simple question "Mama?"). One highlight: making friends at the tacqueria/bakery/insurance agency/jewelry store with a Mexican father and daughter at a nearby table. By the end, we left with a Polaroid photograph of Wendy, age 7, who had lost a tooth at the dinner table, and Annalee, each of them looking pleased as punch to be sharing a hug, and a moment.
