A Jedi Mob and a Bump in the Night

Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .

. . . a loud crash in our bathroom around 3am. A picture I'd hung with some newfangled velcro stuff yesterday came loose from the wall and crashed down behind our toilet. This evening we pounded a nail into the wall and hung it the old fashioned way.

. . . when Phillip turned on iTunes on our computer, and played a song that always gets fiendishly stuck in my head. He had just bought it and was pretty excited about it, but he agreed to listen to it with headphones for my sake. Bless him.

Today's favorite moments included . . .


. . . Joy running up to her friend and hugging him at his birthday party.

. . . the party had a Star Wars theme, and at one point the mom handed all the kids inflatable light sabers so they could square off with Darth Vader in the bounce house. They were supposed to go in one at a time, but the whole group mobbed Vader at once, and after a few minutes he fled out the back gate. It was awesome.

. . . a young woman from church offering to watch our kids for free so we could go to the temple.

. . . asking Daniel "Who am I?" and hearing him immediately reply "Mama." Of course, I couldn't resist giving him an enormous hug when he said that. I think he's finally starting to grasp that he can make sounds that have reference to people around him.
