I think summer might be gone
The weather will still be warm and muggy for awhile, but I've
already started wearing red tights and thinking about jackets and stuff.
Even young Nicolaus has gotten into the swing of it - he brags endlessly
about wearing socks and boots (his word for shoes that
aren't sandals), and today I bought him a sweater for a dollar at a thrift
store. He didn't want to take it off all afternoon even though it was
80 degrees outside, and he kept stopping in the middle of playing to hug
his sweatery sleeves and say "Mama buyed you that SWEATER.
Costa hundrid DOLLARS."
Nicolaus always emphasizes the last word in every SENTENCE. He
also thinks that anything cool cost a hundred dollars.
I'd rather not get into where he got that idea, but I would like to say in our defense that we had a gift certificate, so really the hundred dollar cool thing only cost us eight dollars. It really did make perfect financial sense for the nice couple in the zero percent tax bracket to buy their baby his own digital camera, I promise.
Plus some other cute musings about the coming of fall, maybe with a clever
analogy to the many changes that are happening in our life right now.
I don't know, it's hard to write. My husband is snoring really loud.
