We are in Oklahoma City this week for Labor Day. My friend Margaret and her family fly in today. I have a mini high-school reunion at Johnnies hamburger joint at 4:30 tomorrow. Tomorrow morning the Kelly Cousins arrive from Dallas for a two-day visit. On Monday we're entertaining all the Raupe/Hanstein Cousins out by the pool. Anybody else want to come?
We purposely didn't bring any legos for our trip so Peter would engage with the family. It didn't stop him from sniffingout two lego catalogues in my mom's closet. He stayed awake in bed until 9pm last night looking at the catalogues, and this morning when I went into the kitchen at 6:30, he was already sitting at the table perusing the booklets, saying the names and the number of pieces out loud. He says he's going to receive a new one for each birthday.This year, for his 5th birthday, he wants the Mars Crysal Reaper, aka, the Mars Rover. He really wants the Taj Mahal too. It has 5009 pieces next to it. I pointed to the recommended age next to the picture, and asked him to read it. He said, I don't know "s". "It's not a letter, it's a number Sweetie." "Hmmm, C?" "No, it's a number, the number 16. You have to be able to count to 5000 first, and knowing your ABC's wouldn't hurt either."
