Bland


Things are going well over here. The holiday season is on its way and we are taking it fairly easy.

This last week we discussed with Andrea the Poulson's family tradition of having a new years eve talent show (to show off things that you learned this year). Andrea said: "Sara learned to grab, and Rea learned to take things away from Sara"

This has recently become a problem. Sara will grab everything and try to bite it, and Rea doesn't like her toys being grabbed. Rea is getting better, but still she sometimes dislikes her toys being bitten.

We told Rea that she can buy Christmas presents for her family members, and she liked the idea, so she pays us 3 'tokens' (which she gets by going to bed without any trouble, cleaning up, and using the potty) to take her to the store. She then gets to pick out one gift. So far she had bought a package of cinnamon bears for Alison, a plush turtle (from the DI) for Sara, and a bunch of plastic grapes for Me.

The turtle was because Sara has one toy (a plastic turtle) that Rea is not allowed to play with (because that seemed fair more than because Sara loves the thing.)

Sara likes to eat rice cereal, which we have begun to call 'Bland' (because Alison and I were saying that it was bland, and then she started saying 'ba ba ba'. We laughed and now when she is hungry she will say 'ba ba ba ba!')

One day when I had just come home I walked in to the room with Sara and Alison and Sara said "Dad" and smiled at me. I think that I just won. :)

I have been playing more UnNethack. You may remember the wizard, Rincewind, who was attacked by an archlich at the oracle level. He is still alive and has just figured out the passtune to the castle. He is currently fighting off the hordes of soldiers and hopes to obtain a wand of wishing soon. He also has a pet Arch Lich. >:)

Finally, we made a short webpage in lieu of a Christmas card. Check it out here.
