the only exception I know is the case

I had a longer post planned for this evening, but Kiddo went to sleep around 10 and then I had an IM conversation with Kiddo's Mama for an hour instead of writing.

In short, Kiddo was in a jolly mood most of the day, except for a brief bit of clinginess when I dropped her at school (dropped her OFF, I didn't drop her). We ate hot dogs for dinner (she had two, I had one) did Floor Skype with Mama and Ciocia Gibs (seriously, get on this Skype thing, rest of my family except KT who is already on it), then drew pictures of robots and fireworks and our family.

And because I should probably mention it, my dear mother-in-law is making some progress. Still a little weak, but her appetite seems to be returning and that is a great sign. I have no doubt that Mimi being there is a huge help, both practically and emotionally.

Okay, it is late and I am starting to collapse from lack of sleep and I am losing the battle of keeping the house clean to my tendency to make piles everywhere I go, so I will just leave you with a picture that makes me happy and is at least a shred of evidence that Kiddo and I are getting along well enough in Mama's absence.

I like your style, kid.

panicky interlude

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post. Because Kiddo is in a Japanese daycare, parents are asked to remove their shoes before coming in. No problem. I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
