I've no idea if this has made the rounds or not, being all out of touch, but if anyone feels like hopping on this band wagon that hasn't already, here's your chance.
Another gratuitous kid picture - I see a patern emerging. This was "graduation" day last week. Apparently, according to daycare, we are now officially the parents of a toddler and have a diploma to prove it.
I would out myself as the totally wussy eater-girl that I am if I did this, so, um, I will not.
But you - as always, you rock.
And I can't believe your birthday is next week. Where did August go? Where did July go? I thought I had ALL KINDS OF TIME.
