Michael's Birthday

Yesterday I taught class at the Art Center, it was fun. While I was gone Arabella helped Michael clean the house. Poor Michael was so tired that he fell asleep watching Fairly Oddparents and then was groggy and crabby while we put Arabella to bed. Today is Michael's birthday, maybe we'll go to IHOP for Pancake Day.

Arabella is talking more every day. She has started counting: "two, two, two, two" I know its counting because she points to each thing in turn, or holds them up. And when I tell her to smile for pictures she bares her teeth and closes her eyes.
