This morning Henry and I went to our first play group in three weeks. It was a lot of fun. There were only three kids, Henry plus two girls. Good odds. Everyone played mostly on their own and yet somehow sort of together. Kids are great at that. There was much throwing of balls and stacking of blocks and stealing of dolls. (Well, only my kid stole a doll. The same doll. A light blue teddy bear one of the girls had brought. And never directly from her. Let's just say he knew where it was at all times and the second she would put it down he'd be on his way over to take it and run around with it. But he always put it back. Because he's a gentleman.) Me and the other two women got to talk a lot and to be honest, talking to another adult can sometimes feel like what I imagine hitting the lottery feels like, especially when you've been cooped up for the last two months with a little kid. So, I'll say it again: it was a lot of fun. Can't wait for next week.

Yesterday was a glorious day. Dave made pancakes for breakfast, then took Henry to the grocery store with him. By the time he got back it was time for Henry's nap. Both the grocery store trip and the nap amounted to quite a bit of time for me to do whatever I wanted. I watched "Idlewild" and painted my toenails. I also did a little online shopping. Well, window shopping really since I didn't buy anything. It was a very relaxing afternoon. Dave and I were going to do our taxes last night but got hung up on the Oscars just long enough for it to be too late to start something so time-consuming. Maybe next weekend.
