lick

• We spent the afternoon with the Plesmans.  Zach had a tournament in Burnaby, so we went to watch a game with them.  I'm so grateful for this family.  Auntie Kim and I have been friends for a million years.  We're lucky to have her in our lives.  She's the best person I've ever known
• George, you were crazy.  Happy and hyper. You missed your nap to be there and you sure put on a show.  I'm not exactly sure how you got so dirty, but wow, that was a lot of dirt.  You were licking the glass.  I yelled at you to stop, but then decided I needed to document it.  You lick EVERYTHING.  The shopping carts at the grocery store, the escalator handrails, various and assorted things you find on the ground.  I try soooooooo hard to get you to stop, but you just don't.  But...you also don't get sick, so maybe all your ingested germs are making your immune system strong
• Zach got a penalty.  He's your new hero
• Jane, you had a babysitting job today.  I can see the beginnings of your breaking away from family activities, and your growing independence.  I'm really happy for you.  I got such nice feedback from the family you babysat for.  I love the system you have for your money you earn.  One envelope for spending, one for saving and one for investing.  Smart move, kid
• Lila,  you stuck pretty close to mommy today.  You saw a little boy your age at the rink and I could tell you wanted to play with him, but you couldn't bring yourself to ask him. 
• Katie, I love hanging out with you.  You're so silly and you make me laugh.  We have lots of inside jokes and little things we do and say to each other.   You're a master at pestering George.  Good luck in the future when he gets bigger and stronger and smarter.  Haha.  The tables will turn
