"Go-bama!"

That's Roosevelt, lying in bed not sleeping, instead shouting out support for Barack Obama. That's our boy. "Go-bama" indeed.

One upside of three days of rain is plenty of puddles to splash in! Here's Roosevelt going at it in a puddle just outside our kitchen door.

"Why are the tears coming?"

That was Roosevelt tonight, as he dramatically wiped at his eyes, 14 hours after he woke up, at the end of a day where he went to his music class, to preschool, and then to a goodbye dinner for his Hungarian friend David--all with no nap. It wasn't really a question of why they were coming, but why they took so long!

Of course, loading him sniffling and weeping into the car at the end of such a long and fun day didn't mean he went to sleep immediately--he still had to sing the Grand Old Duke Of York a good two dozen times before he finally conked out.

Roosevelt's dream journal

This morning Roosevelt said to me and Janice, "I had a tiny, tiny dream last night." Really, we asked. What was it about? "A tea cup talking to a watermelon." Really, what did the tea cup say? "I'm sorry!"
