photo from yesterday’s nap taken on iPhone
I just got done putting Tuesday to sleep. It took me three hours. Bj is working late so I got to hear her sing out, “bobbobbobbobbobbob bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bob bob?” This is Tuesday for, “Where are you Bob bob?” I knew she was tired like four hours ago, did I wait too long? Some days I think I have her completely figured out. Somedays are today, and I have no idea what is going on. At least I can admit it. I can also ignore the laundry, dishes, toys, emails, and go crawl in bed with a book. Yes I think I will go do that now.

I have been sewing and generally playing with fabric downstairs. It's great fun until Tuesday decides to mix up my design to suit her tastes! I took an extra piece of foam core board and some flannel I had and whipped up this:
Tuesday squeals and runs over to it when she gets downstairs.
It's all very exciting.
I'm excited to use this for the felt letters I thrifted back in the day. Oh wait maybe you shouldn't click that link – unfinished quilt alert!

I'm sure there is some clever title that is just out of my reach with this one, maybe "straight flippin' yo"? Tuesday has a few new skills. One is carting things all over the house and redistributing them. I find it quite funny to discover old receipts in mixing bowls and clean socks in between books on the shelves. The other new skill is flipping. Observe:
It's so cute. She talks to herself while she does it. Her favorite books right now are Ina May's Guide to Breastfeeding and Malcolm Gladwell's What the Dog Saw. Occasionally she'll cart around Understanding Waldorf Education, I think because of the apples on the cover. Anyway this reminded me that I never shared one of my favorite Christmas present ideas I had.
My friend Tracy came across this company called Flip Clips in the back of some magazine. I decided to get a couple for Bj for his stocking (I also got this one). They were cheap, easy to do and shipped super fast. Now that Tuesday is doing super fun things like walking (and practically RUNNING) I need to get a few more made.
