Around the house tonight: Z loving the moonsand, girls crafting, G's precious drawing of our names enveloped in a heart.

More tales: Went to the library tonight and big S, for the first time, walked confidently up to the information desk and asked the librarians for help finding "zebra books." After she was led to the non-fiction mammal area she praised herself repeatedly for her bravery and confidence. I'm proud of her too.

In other news, I brought home fish sticks and turkey dogs for Z&G, my little omnivores. They were ecstatic. G actually kissed the hot dog package and Z downed 2 dogs in about 45 seconds. It delighted me to see them eat with such gusto. If feel really good about buying them what they want. We'll look for some free range turkey and chicken at farmers' marked the stuff at whole foods was a fortune.
