Mummy recently went out for dinner with some ladies from the neighborhood. She told the girls it was a "mummy meeting" to "make her a better mummy." Not to be outdone, Daddy went out later that weekend to the pub with a "daddy friend." Louise concluded the next day, "Daddy - you don't need any more daddy meetings. But mummy needs to go on more mummy meetings."


The girls' current ambitions: Louise wants to be a tree when she grows up. Charlotte says, "Me get bigger; go work in hoppital." Claire: "[raises eyebrow, sucks finger]"

Flower children

We've had a busy weekend, though our camera has not been overly taxed. We all went to see Elizabeth Mitchell on Saturday morning in Carrboro. Mummy & Claire loved the concert. Louise was attentive and clapping heartily for most of the songs, but afterwards said she didn't like it. Saturday afternoon, Louise went to a birthday party at Bull City Craft. We've also been spending lots of time with the neighbours. Louise's head had a rather dramatic encounter with a steel-reinforced corner before bed Saturday night. The gash on her forehead is still bleeding a bit, but she didn't seem to have suffered a concussion.

On Sunday afternoon, Daddy, Louise, and Claire went to Barnes & Noble, whilst Charlotte & Mummy stayed home and visited the playground at the end of the street. On the way home, Charlotte said, "I want to play with Asha." Asha isn't home, Mummy replied. Where do you think she's gone? "England," Charlotte immediately responded. Why? "To get ice cream."

Fearless

Today Charlotte's teacher wrote, "While exploring at bike rally I was very impressed to see Charlotte riding two scooters at once. She did not even fall. To pick up speed she would put one leg in the middle and push off! This is truly a skill I would never imagine a two year old doing!" (Translate: your daughter is crazy).





Claire's disregard of historical accuracy and lack of cultural sensitivity demonstrated fearlessness about blackmail, or a decision to never seek elected office (or to do so as a neo-Tea Party candidate).
