Because this is just a damn cute picture.

Where is the rest of the world?

I watched MSNBC for forty minutes over lunch today, and the closest they got to talking about anything international was two humpback whales in San Francisco. I had to stop watching after 40 minutes. Maybe I should give them the benefit of the doubt, and assume they spent the next 40 minutes - at least - talking about things outside the U.S.? I don't know...they spent about two minutes talking about David Hasselhoff's drinking problem.

Birthday Gear

My folks got Eryn some spring clothes as part of her birthday present. As Eryn is so big for her age, she and I needed to exchange every item. (No matter how well you think you've got it figured out, if she's not along for the shopping, it's too small.) So, here's one ensemble. Those pants, by the way, Mana, are a size 8. I'm not kidding.





















Grandma Ellen and Grandpa John sent Eryn a Dora purse, which he loves. It went with her to music class this morning, stuffed with Littlest Pet Shop pets, a puppet, some jingle bells, and a prism viewer thingy. The bells, at least, were apropos.

That My Little Pony in the first picture? She bought that herself. I took her to Toys R Us because she had declared she wanted to use some of her Own Money to buy a couple more pets from the above mentioned Littlest Pet Shop (compliments Andrew, Jackie, Oliver and Arthur), but when she saw the walking/talking My Little Pony, she changed gears. "I saw a commercial for that and I have ALWAYS WANTED IT!"
