Today was a banner day for Alex. We spent at least an hour outside and -no eating rocks occurred-!!! A miracle! And she's also figured out that Jeff is at work during the day - Daddy work - and that apparently, when he is home, that means he's on. Makes sense to me.

She did have a moment or two of naughty today when she tore the flowers off our crocuses (croci? crocusi?). But she knew they were purple when she did it, so I'll call that a pretty good thing to have happened. She also restrained herself and didn't tear the flowers off the daffodils, and that was very exciting indeed.

She's in her crib talking to herself when she should be sleeping, but her voice is getting quieter and there are no random loud outbursts, so one can only assume sleep is on the way.
