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 LeapPad book that comes with the player, the one that doesn't need a cartridge cause it's built into the player, on the cover there's a picture of Leap kinda jumping out of a book. The other night John asked for the "Leap jumps out" book, and I didn't know what he was talking about, till he then said "I want Welcome to LeapPad Learning Center" and then I saw the cover and saw oh, that's what he meant!

They played with shaving cream in the kitchen last night. Rhonda heard about that I think at the blaine family education place, something that can help with sensory simulation. They smear it on the table and all over themselves. Then, I plunked them in the tub and they had a nice long bath.

One of the tapes Rhonda got was the Green Eggs and Ham story. John has really caught on to that, and likes listening to it. He'll come up to me and kinda cup his hands say "will you eat them on a train?" etc... ha

I read bedtime stories with Hanna last night on my bed. She liked that. She went and got her blankie and a couple of stuffed animals and settled in. Sorta. A couple times she tossed an animal overboard on purpose so she could get down, retrieve it and climb back up.
