GOt a haircut on Saturday morning. He sat very nicely- but then bartered for a soccer ball for his good behavior. We're suckers, so we went to the store, where he picked a baseball helmet instead. New. Beloved. Helmet. Sleeps in it, eats in it,prances in it. Even makes Jenna the Babysitter wear his bike helmet in his presence. We thank her for her good sportsmanship.


Riding his dinosaur. "Hey mama- wanna be a cowboy? (shakes his head).. nooooo, actually(new word.. he has no idea what it means) you wanna be a cow GIRL?"

Bennett came over.. they got everything out.

We wasted our money at "Tha Cir-cus VaaaaalenTIne" on Saturday. I just don't get it. It smelled like Elephant s**t, the acts weren't that good, and it cost 26 dollars. Any of you who know me well know that I get REALLY nervous when other people are performing- I'm nervous that they are going to be embarrased and that if they are embarrased that I will be embarrased, so I get embarrased and can't watch. I really should take medication- ANYWAY, Ethan has inherited my igry feelings (it's a real word... look it up)and he could barely stand to watch the guy pretend that he was going to jump off the diving board into the trampoline "water" whilst prat falling, losing socks, honking his nose, etc... He looked me and Shaun up and down and said "that is not funny." I agreed. We left. Here we are trying to make sense of the one and only Cir-cus VaaaaaalinTINE!"


Oh and.... We're PRIVATE SCHOOL people now. Ethan got into New School- he starts in August. I hope they don't kick us out for being unrefined. I bought him a new backpack... just cause I was itchin' to monogram something. Check it out! www.thenewschool.org
Later! E
