sunday in the park with

Do you have both of your new purses and your watering can? Awesome. Let's go to the park.


Okay, but first you have to have some sunscreen. Don't you sigh at me like that.


You have too many things. Let's take a break.


Let's draw on the sidewalk with Mommy.


Oh look. The park. We'll wait here while you scan the entire park for the perfect flower.


"Found it!"


Do you want to go on the swing? "No." We have to go soon, do you want to swing? "No." Okay, it's time for dinner, let's go home. "Swing?"


Okay, say bye-bye to the park. "Up? Up?" Okay, or that.


Why, yes, you can wear my hat. Thank you for asking. Oh, you didn't ask. Well, enjoy anyway.


Home again, home again. Let's get your shoes off ... so you can put on your galoshes.


Any final thoughts about your afternoon in the park?


Yeah. Us, too.

This concern is also spreading to the area of the Tooth Fairy and the Switch Witch. But, Yuki still wants to believe in the magic.  So much so that while she expressed concern, she has yet to come out and ask us. So I suggested we watch Miracle on 34th Street which we did during Thanksgiving weekend and she was starry eyed. We wanted to help restore her faith in Christmas at least for one more year.  Enter: American Girl Doll Now, here is where the magic collides with reality. Yuki first  encountered  American Girl Doll in kindergarten when a few of her friends talked about theirs. When she first mentioned it I had a physical reaction to almost vomit. It was one of those "Disney Princess," "Barbie," and other things that the girls are supposed to get interested in that I dreaded. I don't have any problems with the...
