Thursday evening

We have had two very good days. Wednesday Quinn woke up bright and cheery and was eager to get ready to go to White Pony. She had a good day at school and opened her surprise - the"Insects" book when she got home. We read it last night and had a good time making the pages open up to see the baby insects. We had fewer tears at bedtime and she went right to sleep.

This morning Quinn was just waking up when you called. She was a lot quieter through breakfast. She asked to open her surprise this morning and that sounded like a good idea to us. Today's surprise was the little pink 'creature' in the red bag. She planned to take it to school, but forgot it. (So far the surprises have been just right for the day.) I talked with Lisa this morning and told her that Quinn wanted to go to her house this afternoon. She said she would be picking Quinn up a little later because she had to pick up Cory from a special Student Council activity and take her to CTA. That sounded fine.


David started on the bathtub ceiling today. He got the materials and cut the board and together we maneuvered it into place. He started caulking around it and discovered he needed more caulk. Knowing the crowd at Home Depot we decided to run by there and then start for Lisa's. David got out of the store quickly and we arrived at Hubbell's just ahead of Lisa and Quinn. So we all had a very nice visit. We will do better next week.

After supper we looked at the blog, and Quinn was very excited about seeing you picture.. She kept waving and saying "Hi". Keep remembering that the joy of being three is a short attention span. When she is engaged at school or play she isn't thinking aboaut missing you.

Now we need to put this together and get ready for bed.
