For dinner last night we had special pancakes. My mom and I have some molds which we used that are shaped like teddy bears and boys and girls. We thought Ricky would really like these special pancakes — we had no idea just how much! He climbed into his chair and saw the teddy bear on his plate and said “Kiki.” Not thinking anything odd, we blessed the food and I cut an arm off of Ricky’s bear for him to eat. Oh, the big crocodile tears that fell. When he finally could speak, Ricky held the pancake up to Kevin and said “fix it.” Maybe he was so upset because he thought the pancake was a small Ricky and I hacked his arm off or maybe something else, but he bit the head off of a different pancake, so . . . Once the tears were all gone, we had a good chuckle about the broken pancake.
The other funny thing happened on our drive home from Mom’s house. We take country roads and have braked for cats, dogs, skunks, raccoons, horses, cows, and even a porcupine. Last night, Kevin had to brake for a very low flying owl that did not want to get out of our way. It was a smaller, white owl that must enjoy riding the currents of passing cars.
Billy had a good one month old day–he slept and ate to his heart’s content. I captured him waking up hungry from one of his naps . . .
