Things that come to mind:
1) We took a trip to visit cousins over Labor Day weekend, and had a wonderful time. I grew up across the country from much of my family, and didn’t know what I was missing. Fortunately–and thanks in large part to Facebook–I’ve gotten to know quite a few of my cousins now that we’re adults. But I want Baguette to just not miss it to begin with.
2) Someday all too soon, Baguette is going to stop singing “Wet It Go,” and I’m going to miss it So Much. Just as I will miss it when she no longer says, “Want get wemon” at the grocery store.
3) I wonder how many times I can re-read Cryptonomicon. So far, the answer is “a great many times.”
4) It is becoming clear that we are about to enter a Winnie the Pooh phase. And because it’s the question everyone asks next, I mean Disney Pooh, not Classic Pooh.
5) Mr. Sandwich’s hugs are like being wrapped in a hug. That sounds like it is circular and self-evident, but in fact it is just the best.
Nick used to ask to watch ” ‘Icky,” but has now graduated to “Mickey”, which saddens me. He does still ask for his “bitches” (britches), though, which cracks us up. As in “Where my bitches? I can’t see them!”
Is it possible to avoid laughing at that? I don’t see how.
