SCANDAL!!!!

MAN DRIVES WITH BABY IN LAP

Okay okay, please don't call CFS on us. It's just up the driveway to the garage when daddy gets home from work. But after watching poor Britney last night, I guess we need to be careful. I hope that I'd make better wardrobe decisions, but we all know how klutzy I can be. The "almost dropped the baby" scenario flashes through my mind every time I step off a curb. And I don't have an entourage who might carry my drink for me. But I digress.... Miles LOVES driving the car. He practically leaps from my arms when he sees daddy anyway, but when he knows he's going to get to lap-drive - I really do almost drop the baby. Today he even saw me in the rear-view mirror. Maybe he'll do better than his mom on his driving test one day.

And he enjoys his toy cars too! These are out of a Wendy's kids meal from my pregnant meat craving days. He just sat on the floor scuffing them around. Busy busy. He kept going for about 15 minutes!! Check out the look of "I'm busy here" towards the end...



Yesterday Miles & I met YaYa at the library for the Birds on Wheels! presentation. The guy from the TN Valley Exotic Birds Club had several birds and lots of information about them. We made it through 2 birds. Miles really liked looking at the other kids and the second bird, a Congo African grey parrot, caught his attention with his fluttering feathers.

Miles is now signed up for the Hiss, Rumble & Roar summer reading program. He has to listen to 20 books to get the prizes. I think we hit 20 books a day if we can count 9 readings of Hand, Hand Fingers, Thumb and 12 of Go, Dog. Go! But we won't do that. I'm going to attempt the adult summer reading program, which requires 4 books. It does specify "age appropriate" material, so ix-nay on the Goodnight Gorilla and Hola! Jalapeno. Does anyone have suggestions?
