• Another perfect day

  The weather was fantastic and I kept having the feeling all day that I just wanted to "tag" the day and be able to re-live it whenever I want.

  Delaney had Storytime at the library and for the FIRST TIME EVER she went into the room by herself while David and I stayed back in the children's room.  She lasted for most of the class until apparently some other little boy had a breakdown, so Delaney decided she'd leave too.  At any rate, I was very proud of her.

  Then we went down to the playground.  Right away, I noticed two other little girls who were wearing flowing skirts, tights and pink crocs and I thought, "wow, these are Delaney's 'people'."  And sure enough, after several minutes of stalking/watching them, Delaney walked over and INTRODUCED herself.  I literally almost fell over.  This is a kid who usually takes 20 minutes to warm up to her friends she's known her whole life.  So anyway, within minutes these three girls are thick as thieves running all over the playground and I start to notice that Delaney is leading the way!  It was crazy - like watching someone else's kid.

  Then, the Mounted Police stopped by and let all the kids pet the horses and gave them all police badge stickers.  We went out for pizza for lunch and came home and put David down for a nap.

  I chilled out with some ice water in one of our new "plasterondack" chairs while Delaney did sidewalk chalk.  It felt so good to feel the sun on my skin.

  Burgers on the grill for dinner.

  Still no luck with Operation Bunk Bed, but tonight was a little better.
