Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

As I mentioned before, John likes playing "hide-and-seek" at bedtime after we put him in his crib. I'll cover him with his blanket, then count and pretend to look around the room. "Is he behind the door? no..." and so on. Well, part of the routine now is he wants me to pick him up one more time, and John will keep saying places, like "behind curtain? behind animals? behind Daddy?" and so on, but then he takes the "behind" concept and expands on it like only a 3 yr old can. He starts saying "behind Barney songs? behind scare you? behind bump head? etc... Funny. Then lately, after saying his behind whatever, he'll say "no, he isn't there".

he's started saying please when he really wants something, like "daddy, I want some milk please", and sometimes he'll just plead. He's so cute, it's so hard to resist. "Of course you can have a pound of sugar before you go to bed, here..."

I took John to Sue's house yesterday, so he could have fun with Julia.

Rhonda had gotten this one outfit for Hanna at a rummage sale, and it almost looks like a clown outfit. Bright colors, yellow and red, etc...
