You don't have to be crazy to work here, but...

Today I took Amelia and Diana to order fabric for our new drapes. While at the fabric store, Amelia found some maracas and deeleebobs (that's what we called these things when I was in high school, but they're labeled as "PretendEars") that she wanted. I had to draw the line at two pair of deeleebobs, but had no objection to buying one pair - especially when they looked so cute on her.

Well, after Amelia and Diana's bath we were all playing in Amelia's room when Diana did something remarkable - something worthy of a blog entry unto itself. Diana, in an attempt to reach a desired toy, pushed herself up using Amelia's step stool and briefly stood up. I was extremely excited when I saw this and rushed to get my camera, hoping it would happen again.

Though Diana did not attempt to stand again, the craziness of the moment did not escape my camera. Amelia, who has recently learned to put her shoes on (sometimes on the correct feet) and take them off, felt like wearing her shoes with her diaper. I thought I might be able to film her singing, "Take me out to the ball game" (she knows the words). Although she wouldn't sing for the camera, she did play along. (Click here to see Amelia perform.)

So, things are fun and crazy around here at times. Other times, things are just crazy. As long as I get my Starbuck's breaks I won't go nuts.
