Today, today: What have i done that i've never done before?

Today I:

Learned the eidan and montumon (spelling is all wrong) and was actually able to do them.

I did relay races with my daughter up the jungle gym and down the slides. 

I ran through the park with my daughter - she's getting pretty fast.

Transplanted a plum tree.  Soaked the roots.
I sat on the river behind the library with Ainye and taught her the word "dragon flies".

Read Ainye Goodnight Moon.  She was stunned into silence.  The second reading, she was right back to shouting.  Discrete trialed the letter sounds a, f, s, and t.  Practiced counting to 4.  Looked at the word book.  Was fascinated that she knew all of the animal pages words. 

Learned the montage 1,000 days makes you a beginner; 10, 000 days makes you a master. 

Played a real yahtzee tourney with J. 



And what about yesterday?

Taught Ainye the word armpit. 

Asked teachers I don't know to participate in my research.  Well, only one.  But it was a leap. 

Went out with Diana P. before she goes to Dubai.  Reflected on old times and went appropriately bar hopping (a first).  First time we got real with each other on an emotional plain and shared real stuff.
