Ups
- As I mentioned before, my mom was here for the last week. I just took her to the airport this afternoon. It was great having her here. She let me do lots of things that are tricky with a toddler like go thrift store shopping. I hope I now have enough summer clothes to avoid having to venture into a clothing store again this season. Also, we found a Stride Rite Outlet near us and got Calvin a new pair of shoes for a very good deal.
Calvin Moment
- On the way home from the airport Calvin was a little cranky. I was listened to Marketplace Money trying to ignore the whining in the back. At one point, Marketplace Money had a little musical interlude and Calvin started clapping his hands. So, I decided that maybe he would enjoy listening to music more than boring adults talking. I switched my iPod to shuffle mode and it started out with a BT song that had a pretty heavy beat. Calvin stopped whining and when I looked back in the rear-view mirror I saw that he was clapping his hands and bobbing his head. Maybe he’s not going to be a classical musician . . .
Simplification
- Cleaned out the cabinet in Calvin’s bathroom and got rid of a lot of junk.
