What we're up to
Henry's watching Elmo and I'm rushing around trying to remember all of the little things I wanted to get done before Dave's parents arrive later this afternoon, like MOVE DAVE'S RIDICULOUSLY HUGE HOCKEY BAG FROM THE GUEST ROOM SIDE TABLE! Oh wait, Dave was supposed to do that.
Really all I have left to do is vacuum and continue on my quest to shift random stuff to more convenient places, like deep, dark recesses of closets. Otto and Phoebe are coming by later for lunch, and now that Otto's crawling, he'll probably be my toughest vacuuming critic today. Hopefully I'll pass inspection.
Suddenly I'm overwhelmed with the desire to commit to sitting on the couch and watching all five hours of Pride and Prejudice, with maybe a few cocoa breaks tossed in there for variety. That wouldn't be a terrible thing would it?
Oh wait, I have a two-year old. Never gonna happen.

I think you should put Otto in this very cute outfit http://davengrace.com/dave/babymop.html when he arrives for lunch. Voila! clean floors!
Watching Pride and Prejudice sounds like a lovely idea (maybe with tea instead of cocoa). Perhaps a Colin Firth movie marathon is in order when you visit?

who ever came up with the mop outfit for a kid is genius! I keep wondering how wrong it would be to double stick swiffer cloths to his knees. Only I worry about the lack of traction they would provide.

On the other hand, lack of traction probably means he'd cover more area, what with all the sliding all over the floor that would be going on...

That is amazing and way better than the robot thing...because my kid doesn't let a few bumps (or giant toys) get in his way.
