I go through my day thinking, "I want to blog about this." It happens dozens of times a day. Most of the time it's something crazy Adah has done, something cute Ranen has done, something not-to-smart that I have done (started baking cookies at 5:30 PM when I had no idea what I was cooking for dinner and no food in the house...).

So, here it is, almost 11 PM and I have nothing left in RAM...just a blank slate. I'll start with a few facts, maybe that will jog my memory:

  • Ranen is 4 months old. He's rolling over from his stomach to his back. Sometimes, well, err...a lot of the time, he'll do this in his sleep and will wake himself up.
  • Adah is doing great. She's being a sweet big sister. There are times when Ranen is fussing and I can't get to him immediately and she'll go over and entertain him. A lot of times she can get him to laugh and giggle.
  • I'm reading the Ragamuffin Gospel as well as Shepherding a Child's Heart, so I've been doing a lot of thinking about grace. How to really understand it, believe it and show it to a child.
  • Adah has been doing a lot of drawing and writing of words. Here's an example of her "baby chick." As for writing, I have a notebook that I keep in the kitchen to write down shopping lists and "to do" lists. Adah will sometimes get a hold of it and add her pictures and words to it. Yesterday I noticed she had added an item to my current shopping list, "POOP." I asked her if she wrote it and she said, "Yes, I was trying to write PAPA." I told her that she wrote poop and we had a good laugh. Then she explained that she was hoping for a chocolate poop cake. Ahhh...the humor of preschoolers.
  • Which brings me to more humor. The other morning Adah was up early and I was out on the sofa trying to wake up. She brought me the Kleeman and Mike comic book and asked me to read the story about the dog peeing on the skateboard. Now, this story has no words...just pictures. It's very well done and I couldn't help but laughing at the way the request sounded. I know you're thinking, "What sort of media do you let your child consume.?!" But, trust me, I wouldn't let her watch most Disney films, but Kleeman and Mike are good.
  • I've updated the Gallery with some pics from May 2006 (taken with the Canon AE-1).

Wish my brain dump had more in it. But, that's all that's left.
