Obsession

Coming to the Indianapolis Zoo in 2011. I wonder how many times I'll get to say, "No, the Aye Aye isn't here yet" over the next 48 months......

Conversation

Me: (sitting, Indian style, on the floor)
Maeve: (pushes me flat on my back, then flees the scene)
Me: (just lays there)
Maeve: (returns moments later and says, with theatrical surprise) Mom!! Who pushed you down??
Me: Uhh, you.
Maeve: (flouncing off like Shirley Temple, looking over her shoulder at me) That's because I love you!

Blurt of the day

Laying on the floor, after being prematurely woken from a nap in the car, in the most pitiful voice:

"Look, Mom! Your little princess is crying!"
