Sept. sidebar -- to save off

Sept sidebar

I WANT MY FLU SHOT NOW! Said Eddie as we waited at the CVS minute Clinic for an hour. In the end he couldn't get his because of the prednisone (we called his peds). Will get next week...

Photos taken as of Sept. 15: 6658. Not sure if that includes videos...

Josie, you want to wear big girl underwear? Huh? You want stripes, polka dots, what do you want? Eddie convincing Josie who has expressed a definite dis-interest in potty training to wear underwear.

Can we do the States puzzle? Eddie asks almost daily. It's a 100 piece puzzle I paid $1 for at a yard sale and has some of the oddest set of puzzle shapes I've ever seen in the puzzle. All the States are mostly appropriately shaped, but as ever my pet peeve, Alaska and Hawaii are shown directly to the south of CA.

We went to three parks today! Josie said excitedly (Beach, the preschool and Blue, in case you wonder).

I can read that book to Josie (Eddie as I'm reading a book about hats, with the word 'hat' on every page)

I'm going to make soup all by myself (Josie as she showed me 2 kid-sized pots)

I want to wear pajamas just like Josie--do I have fish pajamas? (Eddie to me)

These books are bad!!! Josie screams from her room if she has finished reading the books we gave her at bedtime, or forgot to switch out the books from the previous night.
