"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Maybe We'd Do Better With Hebrew? or We interrupt Jamie's obsession with family pictures for a post about - thank goodness - something else!!!


When I was little, I wrote my name backwards.


Both the letters and the name.


It was very cute.


E does the same thing, although usually her letters face the right way. Apparently she is smarter than me.


I don't worry about it since I obviously know how to write my name now. thgiR?

Anyway, when she takes her "naps" she is allowed to come downstairs at 4:00.


This means that, despite my careful explaining every day, she comes down at 2:34. (She apparently misses 2:04, 2:14, and 2:24).


"But Mom, the 4 was first!!!"


And yes - I still make her have quiet time for two hours. If you can call the Broadway show going on up in Justin's office "quiet time."

I wish someone gave me two hours of quiet time to have my own private Broadway show!

Really her logic makes sense, you said 4, it doesn't really matter where it falls in the number?
