Chopsticks

After Aerin and I flew to LA on the way to Disneyland, we stopped for dinner. Aerin had Panda Express and handled chopsticks better than I had ever seen her do before. I asked her how she had gotten so good, and she said, "Instinct."

Pictures!

Pictures from Aerin's trip to Disneyland with Dad are here.

Boring Saturday

Today Aerin called and called to find a friend for a play date, but they were all busy. She had to settle for boring, old Dad. We made a bead necklace. We rode bikes in the cul de sac. I watched her jump on the trampoline. We played basketball; she jammed a finger. I watched her ice her finger. Ahhh. Future memories.

How would she know?

We watched Addams Family tonight. During the ballroom scene, Aerin asked, "Why are all the women dressed like goths?"

Shannon Would Agree ...

Tracy hosted a baby shower for a friend last Saturday. Aerin saved two bags of candy for later. She said one was "for emergencies, when there's no chocolate."

Trivia?

We were playing Disney Trivial Pursuit. It was Aerin's turn to read a question: Who always said "Oh, bother." Quickly turning to the answer she read: "Whiney Poof".

Her Lips Are Sealed

Yesterday, Aerin visited the Hello Kitty store on her Daddy/Daughter date. Among other things, she bought a little baby bottle filled with orange liquid. Later, while I was buying my no-fat but covered in cinnamon and sugar pretzel, she was trying to drink from the bottle. She couldn't get anything out, so she looked for some instructions on the bottle. She read:

Orange Scented Glue

We had trouble paying for my pretzel because we were laughing so hard.
