Today Alex and I visited one of my old college friends and her family. We had a very busy day of playing with different toys in an unfamiliar house and being played with/picked on by other kids. It was a great time for us both.

Lunch was especially fun for Alex. We had hot dogs, and my friend's daughter wasn't eating hers. Being around the turkey vultures has taught Alex to swoop in on unclaimed food, so she swooped in and scooped that hot dog right off her unsuspecting victim's plate, and ate most of it while she watched. I now know that, if faced with a hot dog lunch and no knife to chop that lunch, she'll be just fine. The same with the hot dog bun. No chopping required, apparently.

She came home, and on a lovely afternoon spent mere moments outside before eating more dirt than ever before. Is she a dedicated geophage, or is it just a geo-phase? Who can say. Only time will tell.

Grammy and Grampy should know that her Easter sheep has become the new favorite toy. The sombrero, well........she'll like it more when her head grows a bit. :)
