wow. 2:57 am.

can. not. sleep.

this week we discovered that ida has a tooth coming through on the bottom. today i looked and she actually has broken 2 tiny, sharp teeth. oh, idy.

in the morning {which is fast approaching} eli will begin grade 2. this summer has felt very short and kind of weird. tonight he asked me if people were nice on the first day of school. i made him look at his new indoor shoes really hard so that he would remember which ones were his. i even wrote his name in big, bold letters inside, just in case he forgot. i sure hope he can get that button on his stiff, new jeans open when he needs to hit the bathroom. his size in jeans these days doesn't come with an easy open clasp. i was hard pressed to find velcro shoes in his size as well.

the dude is too big for his age.

i finished quilt #2 yesterday. it was my quilt-along quilt. it sat around here for awhile and yesterday i finally bound it. the binding made ALL the difference in the world. it was blah and untamed, but now with that little black finished edge, it looks framed and brought together. isn't that how things are sometimes. the tiniest thing changes everything.

tomorrow i change the way i will eat for 60 days. i will report my findings at the end of that period. cheer me on please.

3:39.... i'm out.
