electric boogaloo

It’s late, I’m wiped out, but three things

1. We had a lovely fourth of July, spent with lovely people from Texas. It was a rockin’ weekend of toddler wrangling, yummy-food eating, storm avoiding, mountain tromping, music playing, car driving, zoom zooming, playing, laughing, and of course what all good friends do together: mindless web surfing.

There was a horrific amount of cuteness all around. Example, fig.1:

2. Today was Switching Day!
You know, the national holiday where people switch carseats with their brother, and then their brother gets a new booster seat, and everyone switches sides and doesn’t cry? Yay!

As you know, Switching Day includes a song (”It’s Switching Day, it’s Switching Day, And all the children say hooRAY! Hooray because it’s Switching Day!”), Fanta Orange with lunch, balloons, and general merriment. Oh, and switching carseats, and not crying.

All the hoopla was for Graham’s benefit, but Nicolaus got a great deal out of it. He told every stranger we met that today was Switching Day, ya know, and so I have this new carseat and it’s really a booster and it has guess what? Two cup holders? And a snack tray and - wait this is the BEST PART. It has READING LIGHTS. Even though I can’t really read in English, I can only read bird speak, because I’m only five but it will still be useful for many different things to have a light and I got an orange soda and a balloon and even though I’m a little too old to be really obsessed with balloons, I still liked getting it because today is — you know, Switching Day…

3. Too tired now for the third thing. More later, gators.
