7:20 Got back from my run, Ariel was here. I asked if she was hungry and she said she didn't want to eat. She's been eating so little for breakfast lately that I didn't push it.

9:00 Went outside to wait for Rachel and Lilianna. I pulled weeds and Ariel "helped." Cute story, she looked up at the phone wire and said, "Look Dee-Dee, Good-morning dove!" I was very impressed, we were looking at doves in the backyard yesterday, but they look very different way up high (which she also noticed, "I can't reach!")

9:20 Rachel and Lilianna arrived and we walked to the park. The girls did a spectacular job of not playing at all. Instead, they whined about Cheddar Bunnies.

10:00 Given how the park was going, I suggested we walk up to the library for storytime.

Ariel did ok for about 5 minutes, until she decided it was more about a territorial war about the sitting cushion and less about the stories. The library had to stop reading to reprimand her (I was on the other side of the room).

Before it went bad (with Lilianna):



11:00 Rachel had parked her stroller up front and so even though the girls were long ago done we had to wait until the end to leave.

11:20 Got home, Ariel had mac & cheese for lunch.

12:15 Down for nap.

2:30 Woke up. Ariel spent the afternoon intermittently whining and clinging while I tried to do some chores. She was a good cheerleader though, every time I finished something she'd say, "Good job, Dee-Dee!"

4:30 Pick up.
