Peachy

Hey, I just had an AWESOME PEACH. I didn't realize they were in season quite enough yet to be as good as all that. Granted it wasn't quite ripe when I bought it on Saturday, but it's been in a brown paper bag since. I was excited by how awesome it was. Bad peaches are so sucky, but good peaches rock the world.

I did productiveness this morning, ie, I started on next year's One Book project (Up, Down, and Around by Pittsburgher Katherine Ayres --which basically means I brainstormed some possible activities, but still, it was productive. This book really lends itself to activities. I might enlist the aid of you composers out there (how many composers do I have on my friends list? Three? Four even? You guys are a talented bunch) to help set it to music-- I've got a bit of a tune in my head already, but to get the bugs out... unless that idea gets nixed for some reason or another. Just, the book lends itself to dancing anyway, and is quite sing-songy, I don't think I could read it straight without accidentally singing it.

So now that I've done productiveness, and Sammy is still busy playing with daddy, I'll do unproductiveness and continue the controversial questions survey ( by answering the questions Nathan added when he took it )

OMG Hi-larious. Okay, maybe you had to be there.

I put Sammy's Jumparoo together today because he seemed so inclined to something like and he's got good head control, plus he so much more enjoys being upright than down and both our backs are tired and can't keep holding him that lomg! So I looked at the box and the only minimum age-size-etc restriction on it was "must be able to hold head upright unassisted" (all the rest of the restrictions were for MAX size), so we thought we'd give it a try. Well, he is a bit physically small for it still nonetheless, but developmentally I think he's got it down:It's about four minutes long but never ceases to be amusing. I think he really did figure out that jumping makes the music come on/make more animal noises. Plus, watch him, he's really dancing to the music I think.
