These Things Have Happened Today


1. Piper Finnian stood up, walked two steps, squatted down and stood back up.


2. Mosely and Bergen and London played on the swingset for an hour, happily, peacefully and joyfully. They even all held hands as they walked to the house.


3. London has mastered dividing items up into correct numbers and sorting by number.


4. Bergen discovered that if you shove your entire fist down your throat, you throw up. "Throat-up" he calls it, somewhat appropriately.


5. I cleaned up the throw-up that Bergen discovered at the base of his throat.



6. I sold the exersaucer on craig's list.


7. Riley finished most of her schoolwork early so she could work at the lodge - hence the reason her discoveries are not highlighted. Plus, she seldom makes herself throw up and her footsteps are not as milestone-worthy as a baby's. Sorry Riley.


8. Mosely kept her adorable braids in even through her nap.


9. The wee kids and I read two books together and explored the idea of buoyancy (pencils float, match box cars do not. legos float, hairbrushes do not.) They even pronounced the word correctly.


10. Piper Finnian shoved all of her peas, cheese squares and cheerios onto the floor at lunch. They fell beside her toast and eggs already on the floor from breakfast.
