We were at the playground the other day and Avery got into an argument with another little girl. Both girls were insisting that they were two years old. All I heard was “I’m two!” and “No, I’m two!”. It went on like this for some time. Avery was very distressed by this [...]

Update

No, I haven’t forgotten to finish off the entry about “Hey Nostradamus”. I just don’t have time right now to write the whole thing up. But I have to comment on the latest in frustrating pregnancy symptoms. I believe I’m going to start needing a blood transfusion every time I brush my teeth [...]

Eleanor Rigby
