Ups

• It was great to have mom here today as I had to make stuff for potluck tomorrow. Boulder Church has “potluck teams” and each team does potluck 2 times a year. This means they set up the tables/chairs for potluck as well as bring extra food. When I had Calvin, I resigned from the potluck team I had been on but another team leader asked if I would be willing to be on her team and just make extra food. This seemed a reasonable compromise so I agreed. I got my two main dishes made this afternoon and just have to put the finishing touches on my dessert this evening.

Calvin Moment

• It appears that Calvin might know what the word “outside” means. I don’t remember exactly what I was saying but I was talking to mom about Calvin and the outside. Calvin stopped what he was playing with and immediately walked over to the sliding glass door and started fussing to be let out. It could have been coincidence but I don’t think so.

Simplification

• Delegated a couple of CDs to the thrift store bin.
