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

The other day, Hanna was carrying around one of her dolls. She was feeding it, and petting it "nicely" like we tell her to do with Ellie. I told her good girl, you're taking good care of your baby! No sooner had I said that when she just flung the doll across the room. Mmm, maybe she's not ready yet for a baby of her own.

John is really doing well with his pt. An accident now and then, but often he'll go on his own without prompting. Couple times now he won't go during his nap, and when he gets up he'll go a lot. This morning, he didn't have much in his diaper at all, and went a whole lot on the chair.

He whimpered a bit when I dropped him off at Sue's house, wanted me to keep holding him and not go. He's got a bit of a sniffle too, like Hanna.

Hanna likes to have me sit on the couch with her and read books. She'll often grab a book, come over and grab my hand and lead me over to the couch. Then, she'll slap the couch with her hand and say "sit!"

Hanna likes to jump on the box, and have me hold her hands while she jumps off. It's a ways up in the air, but she has no fear, just *poing* like a spring, she leaps off.

The LeapPad had been having some troubles with the pen, sometimes it wouldn't do anything when you touched the pad. I opened it up and cleaned and reset it in the socket, and has worked fine since. But when it was acting up, I said once to John it's acting kinda funny. And after that, whenever it did that, John would say "it's kinda funny!"
