"Halfway Down" by A.A. Milne
Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit.
There isn't any
Other stair
Quite like
It.
I'm not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where
I always
Stop.

| Kate LOVED this cart at Whole Foods Market today. We bought several soy and dairy free products for her. Of course, we ended up getting a few other fun things for us, too! Wish we could visit this place more often, but it's just too expensive. We spent over $100 for just 3 paper bags full of groceries. Crazy. It'll take self-control to buy Kate basics only. We enjoyed lunch on their patio outside. It was an amazingly gorgeous day today, and it was so nice to enjoy being together as a family now that Nick's home! |

| At the allergist's office today. Kate's blood work came back showing a "moderate" milk allergy. The doctor said this means strict avoidance of all dairy. She'll have blood work done again in a year to see if she's outgrowing it. Soy everything, here we come! |

| Kate and I met my friend Ashley and her girls at the mall today. It was so fun to hang out with them! Kate enjoyed the kids' play area. She was running all over the place and making new friends. She liked exiting the play area, too (while Mommy quickly chased her down). She wanted to go shop! This little girl was pooped by the time we headed home. |

| Allowed Kate to destroy the kitchen so I could enjoy a few minutes of chat time online with Nick for the day. She was a happy camper. So was I. |

Scaredy Squirrel by Melanie Watt
Look what arrived today from Amazon!
Do you know Scaredy Squirrel? This is the brand-new, fifth book in the series, and it doesn't disappoint! Scaredy is a worrywart, so he plans for every possible scenario in potentially risky situations. The books are filled with Scaredy's preparation diagrams, lists, tables, and graphs. It's really more for kids 1st grade and up; the humor will be lost on younger kids. And humorous it is! For instance, item F on Scaredy's to-do list is to "practice breathing (to blow up balloons/blow out candles)." Then among the items in his party planning folder is a line graph showing his breathing practice progress. Of course, things never go according to plan, but they always have a way of working out.

Melanie Watt writes other books, too. She has another series about Chester, a cat who wants to take over as author and illustrator of Melanie's books. Each of them tries to take the upper hand in the storytelling process, and Melanie always ends up putting Chester in his place.
I can't believe I haven't shared about Melanie Watt's books here before. Check them out - you're sure to love them!
