that time of year


Today we celebrated Paco's Birthday. pretty quietly--none of the fanfare of last year. Lily gave him a bag of animal crackers and I got him a standing double work light that he already loves.

We went out to eat and then to the mall to see Santa. She has been pledging that this is the year she will not be afraid of Santa. The first year she wouldn't go near him. Last year she took a candy cane from him, but just barely. This year's pic speaks for itself.



This video is form a couple of week's ago, but it definitely deserves airtime. Lily is singing " A Bushel and a Peck" which her nanny used to sing to her almost daily.


Today also had a low point. Somewhere in the mall Lillian lost her constant companion "Riggy" short for Rigoberta. Lillian has had this little cloth doll since she was about 6 months old and sleeps with her, takes her to school, and drags her around most every day. We realized when we got home and made some phone calls, but it seems that Riggy is indeed gone. I have already been online and ordered another Riggy from Discount School supply. She took it pretty well, overall.
