> Question for Santa, is $34.00 too much to spend
on body
lotion? I am fairly certain I would pay that much
for something with marshmallow infusion. Dee-lish.
And if you happened to bring me some for Christmas Santa,
I wouldn't say no.
It
was 'duty day' at Emma's co-op nursery school yesterday.
It was pretty fun, mostly because I get to play with
the toys. This time around they had a Goldilocks-themed
felt board (the children were very amused by my Papa
Bear voice, but I think I just sounded like a heavy
smoker.) Also available: Lego, various plastic bears
(it was bear week), and other miniature plastic bears
who were to be sorted by colour. Four little girls and
I set them up in long rows to form a bear military.
But
'duty day' is not all glory and roses. There were a
few meltdowns, some tears, lost boots, wet cracker crumbs,
and a few children who needed help going to the bathroom.
I
had to bring one little guy in from the playground.
Now I don't have any experience with little boys. None
whatsoever. So I hoped he could just show me how he
goes about it, and I would just supervise. He proudly
showed me his Bob the Builder underwear, and then proceeded
to pee.
I
had to remind him to keep it all under control, and
to focus on where he was aiming. I wonder now if there
is a market for some kind of toilet, wall and floor
splash-guard for parents of little boys. Or do parents
just shrink-wrap their bathrooms? Or just keep a mop
behind the door at all times?
Somebody
please help me understand why all boys and men don't
just sit down to pee like the rest of us. Or why toilets
are designed in such a silly way.

Would
you believe that it snowed today?
p.s
It's
taken me awhile, but Halloween

Last
night we did the traditional Carving of the Pumpkins.
Today there is lots to do to prepare for tonight and
for the coming weekend.
For
one, I am drilling Emma with the concept that Halloween
is a 'sharing hoilday' i.e. all collected candy goes
into a communal pot from which all family members are
free sample. So far she's buying it!
Pics are definitely forthcoming. Emma is geared up to
be a Barbie Princess (the highlight of which is wearing
lipgloss) and Sarah will be a lion. Her costume looks
alarmingly like something from the Simpsons. It has
yellow googly eyes and is slightly too yellow.
Happy
Halloween everyone!
