It's So Nice!

In January
it's so nice
while slipping
on the sliding ice
to sip hot chicken soup
with rice.
Sipping once
sipping twice
sipping chicken soup
with rice.


The Above is from the book Chicken Soup with Rice by Maurice Sendak currently Joshua's favorite book. I read this book so much that sometimes I just sing it out loud without realizing it. I really enjoy reading books that rhyme. The book also teaches children the different months of the year. For Josh, it mainly makes him say, "Rice! Rice! Rice!" because Josh LOOOVES food and is especially fond of rice...it is ingrained in his DNA. These days,Josh's other favorite thing ,besides food, are planes aka "mlane! mlane!" I keep stressing the puh sound of "p" but Josh really is just fine with calling it a mlane.
Obviously, reading has been on my mind, so we got a membership to the local library today. While at the library, Joshua was the unoffical greeter as he waived everyone hi and bye as they entered and left the library. Several graciously responded, and others well...it IS a library. Yeah, we didn't stay for long. His very enthusiastic greetings are much cuter when at a grocery store or some other not-so-quiet place. We stayed long enough to grab a backpack of books about all types of transportation including ,to Josh's delight, a "mlane!", so that was what was most important. Paul continues to be his sweet smiley self. I just kept him in the baby bjorn the entire time and he was as content as can be. So nice!

We have a park right in front of the apartment, so that's been nice too! Trying to keep this post short, so I can go to bed.
Side note: We enjoyed a semi-gourmet pizza for dinner created by yours truly. Thank you very much! What was in it? Why, glad you asked...
Bobolli (sp) pre-made pizza crust (wheat) little bit of tomato sauce, lots of Italian blend cheese, shrimp (pre-cooked in butter with fresh garlic), meaty part of bacon cut into tiny pieces,fresh garlic minced, roasted red bell pepper, fresh portabello mushroom, a little parsley and 8-10minutes in the oven...We thank God for a smooth transition...it's been nice!

happy once
happy twice
happy...
