Bits and Pieces

These are some of the bits and pieces of the last few days that I just want to record so I remember them:

Alice broke out into "It's a Grand Old Flag" as we drove to camp yesterday.  She then recited the Pledge of Alligance.  Apparently, it has changed a bit.  I think I heard her say something about "invisible witches" and someone named "Elizabeth". 

The theme of her day came is Wydaca Heroes.  One of the crafts this week involved her making a book about one of her heroes.  I was sweetly taken aback when I read the title "My Hero Angela".  Its pages were decorated with pictures of them playing (not a good time to be hormonal).

Angela took on an older boy at the playground who was teasing another older girl.  She told him that she was going to eat his butt.  While I am encouraging her to try new food, I do draw the line at cannibalism.

Angela fell asleep on our way to pick up Alice from camp.  She proceeded to snooze in my arms at the park.  I wish words or pictures could convey the sweetness of this.  The weight of her body snuggled into my arms, the gentle snores, the way the breeze caused her hair to tickle my face.  I watched Alice run around with a friend and realized that snuggle moments like this are becoming fewer which made that current one seem even more special. 

Puggie running out of the playroom wearing one of the pink dress up ballgowns and an elaborate necklace.  Angela, who has difficulty dressing herself, apparently had no problems decking Puggie out in a fabulous outfit.  Kudos to the dog for putting up with such treatment.  She got a handful of carrots for her troubles.
