Tidbits

School: Vincent had his first day of school all by himself. He did really well but told us that he "got sad when it was circle time." The cool thing was that circle time was at the beginning of the day, so he felt better, played on the jungle gym and drew a picture of his family! Our family even has a dog and cat we didn't know about! I consider this day a victory.

Peter Sits Up, Jumps: When he sits he gets into a cool bulldog squat where his butt and legs are sitting but his arms and hands are straight out, supporting his body. It's awesome. He's also been introduced to his Jumparoo. It's like the kid was born to jump.

Kenny Rogers Chronicles, Vol. 1: I'm growing a beard. There's no two ways about it. Responses recorded thus far:

Rose: "You know how I feel about this. I don't like how it makes your face look."

Vincent: "Will it be like Santa Claus?"

Peter, through his publicist: "Ouch. Are you serious, dude?"

CLOWNWATCH, 2007!: Two sightings this weekend alone. One was at the Kennett Square Mushroom Festival but in all fairness, it was a juggler with clown pants and shoes but no makeup. It was enough to make Vincent wary but not enough to ruin the day. The second sighting was a doozy. 2 clowns, wide open field, at our township's community day. The fear was palpable. I felt really bad for him. We discussed that clowns are just silly people trying to make people laugh but there was only one option - leave now.
