Hopping on the current meme bandwagon here is a list of the things my daughter loves to do:

• Read Books (Curious George, ftw!)
• Climb the Stairs
• Tickling
• Tinkerbell
• Watching everything outside (birds, cars, dogs, people, etc)
• Bathtime

For those that have been long time readers, you might remember the announcement a year ago of her joining us.  Here is a recent picture, at her one year birthday party, for an update.

Jumping on another meme:

“You have discovered that bad people always have a bad effect, and good people a good effect, upon their nearest neighbors;” – Plato, The Last Days of Socrates.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open it to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
