That Was Easy

Well, Luthien's surgery is all done. We actually left the surgical center less than an hour after the scheduled time of the surgery. Easy peasy.

The question now is, do I let her have Hi-Ho Cherry-O, which I bought on our store credit at Bookman's yesterday, or make her wait until her birthday? I'm not good at waiting and certainly don't want to set higher standards for her than I expect of myself. I think it's going to be a recovery day activity.

"I want to go to day care!"

Luthien has declared this several times today.

Maybe she just likes it better than sitting around the house with boring old Mommy.

Someone remembered my birthday!

The in-laws didn't, but we got the box from mom in the mail. I bought groceries and a $5 large pizza from Little Caesar's. Does that count as eating out?

Luthien is scheduled for ear tube surgery on the 15th. I picked a Friday so I only have to miss one class and she'll have the weekend to recover, but David will have to work for sure.

She's turned into Miss Grouch after daycare. I don't know if it's because she' tired, or just because she wants her own way more after all day in a structured environment. Either way, it's really taxing on me.

Luthien's birthday is coming up, and I won't be able to get her any gifts before hand. Some things I think she would enjoy:

Board games for the 3+ crowd (she has Memory and Rivers, Roads, and Rails and plays those well)
Jigsaw puzzles in the 15-30 piece range
Books, as always
A T-ball set


I want to get her a kitchen. Every time we go into Target, it takes a while to tear her peacefully away from the wooden island kitchen. I think it's adorable and loathe the big plastic kind. IMO Target is the only big box store with a toy section worth looking at for more than 2 minutes.
