The wolf did what?
Yesterday es spent the day with us. After I practiced a bit at church, I picked her up. She was ready and waiting for me. She told me I could change her wet diaper and pulled out the necessary supplies, a welcome change from her frequent protests about diaper changes. I obliged her, then put her in her car seat. We went to the park so she could climb on the play structure and run around, then we chose three books at the library and sat down to read them before checking them out. Ziggy Piggy and the Three Little Pigs, by Frank Asch, provides an updated version of the tale. The big bad wolf here is strong enough to blow down even the house of bricks! I don't usually preview stories before I read them to es, but when I came to that part I began to wonder if maybe I should. The ending was good, though, no tears or pigs for dinner. We also bought some cookies at Safeway before going back to our house for lunch and a nap, or at least some quiet time in her crib. She certainly knows how to stretch out the getting-ready-for-a-nap time. I hate to just put her in bed if she's upset, so I tend to keep her calm by exceeding the number of books I said we would read. Yes, that may be poor parenting in the long run. E and ec joined us for supper of baked chicken thighs (one of es's favorites) and vegetables. Then we played catch with the basketball, or should I say roll and capture, before they went home to see if K had returned from his business dinner meeting.
