She's committed it to memory and performs it with perfect drama and flair. Sidney has memorized it too and he's beyond cute reciting it.
When I was putting Cleo bed tonight she told me that since I was putting her to bed tonight, I was the parent who was supposed to pick her up in the morning and take her downstairs to breakfast. She said that tomorrow evening, Roger will put her to bed then the following morning he is supposed to pick her up in the morning and take her down to breakfast. She explained that that is an example of a pattern. I asked her how she knew that and she said that she just knew it. She's brilliant.
I took Cleo and Sidney inside Nicholas House to drop off the gifts and Sidney was perfectly behaved. I think his shyness precluded him from trying to wander off or making too much noise. Cleo is always well-behaved. Sidney tripped on a poorly-placed computer cord and his sneaker came off but that wasn't his fault. Cleo said, "oh little guy lost his shoe." She's so charmingly condescending to him.
Now I must go watch the Good Wife. It's one of the best shows on TV. I also like 2 Broke Girls, the New Girl, Up All Night and Grey's Anatomy. In case you were wondering what my favorite TV shows are right now.
Another update about me is that I rejoined Weight Watchers. I have gained 7 pounds since March 2011. I blame Cleo's birthday party. I ate at least 2 cupcakes that day - we had it at a cupcake shop in Marietta, GA. For some reason, cupcakes are my undoing and I was never able to regain my discipline after that. I simply indulged too much since March. Then, I hurt my knee in June by over-using it doing certan exercises. I haven't been able to get back into exercising as diligently as I was before I hurt my knee. I did physical therapy for 6 weeks this summer but my knee is not the same.
My clothes simply don't fit the same and I am tired of my jeans fitting too tightly. I can't buy a whole bunch of new clothes. So, I am getting back on track.
