March 16: Sylvia is taking her afternoon nap, and Andrew is humming along to Beethoven’s pastoral symphony as we watch Fantasia. I’m finding myself very thankful that Andrew likes watching movies. It gives me a little down-time. I’m also grateful that his movie selections are limited to Fantasia, Fantasia 2000, the David Attenborough wildlife documentaries, Animals are Beautiful People (a kids wildlife show from the ’70s), and Robin Hood. Oh, and The Lion King sometimes makes an appearance. They’re all shows I enjoy listening to, and it means that Andrew hasn’t ever even heard of most of the characters in most modern movies. So he’s not jonesing for shoes or cereal or pajamas that sport the logo of some Disney product. I am really not a fan of having my children being walking billboards!
Hmmm…take five on that comment that Sylvia was napping. She’s apparently not napping. That girl! I was hoping she’d take a good nap so we’d all be nice and rested and could pull out my bike and hook up the trailer and go for the first bike ride of the spring!
It’s a stunningly beautiful day today. The last piles of snow are melting, and the ground is wet, wet, wet!
