Knowledge sponge

I was reading a book to Lolo last night. It is an elmo book that has a page with the letters of the alphabet. Each letter is on a block and each block has a fold down flap that reveals something that starts with the letter on the block. I always sing the alphabet to her when I get to this page. I realized that she knows the entire alphabet- at least she can sing it. She can't recognize all the letters yet but she can tell me Z, L, O, and X are when I point to them and ask what letters they are.

Obviously she is brilliant and far advanced just like her dad.

Lolo is at the in-laws today. She wound up at the doctor yesterday with her first earache. The doctor threw her on amoxocillan. She was screaming incessantly for a while yesterday and it caused the 8 month pregnant wife to come undone.

The wife is suffering- swollen ankles and feet and generally feeling like shit- she is ready to get those two babies out of her. She will have to wait until the 25th.

What I got done today:
1. Took Lolo to meet her grandparents
2. Purchased birthday present for a 3 year old kid whose birthday party we are attending tomorrow.
3. Purchased ink for the inkjet printer.
4. Purchased card and gift certificate for massage, manicure and pedicure for the wife for Mother's day
5. Purchased 2 hanging baskets for my mother and the mother-in-law for mother's day.
6. Took plastic and glass recycling to the recycling center
7. Carried all the groceries upstairs from the garage
8. Planted 11 Hosta plants along the walkway in the back yard.
9. Scrubbed the hot-tub cover.
10. Dug a trench to lay new drain pipe for gutter drains.
11. Cleaned out the pond and the fountain pump.
12. Replaced the walkway lights.
13. Watched the new King-Kong movie- disappointing- only good thing about the movie is the special effects.

Damn I'm tired.
