43/365

1. Liza's first encounter with antibiotics (thanks to a completely random strep infection that manifested itself as a sore stomach and a fever that didn't start until AFTER she started the medication) has been completely benign ... I don't even have to bribe her to take the stuff. Must taste better than what I grew up with.


2. Tag-teaming the tax preparation and child care for two days = done and filed in plenty of time.


3. The odd hybrid crocus in our front yard ... out of the hundreds of light purple and dark purple flowers by our front door, this is the only striped one we found.

4. Liza spends time each day making up her own theme music and narrating the storylines of whatever she's pretending that day. What she comes up with usually sounds like the main song from Jesus Christ Superstar, and involves some variation on "She transforms into super rainbow flower star." This morning we wrote down the best bits, because she's actually getting things to rhyme now. Here's what we got as she was fixing the wing that fell off of the airplane we were riding:

"She's got the power to read and sing.

She's got the power to fix the wing.

She knows just what to do.

She fixes the wing with her rainbow glue."

5. Jason let me sleep in while he and Liza bought donuts for breakfast this morning. Score!
