08:00 pm Today there was a book fair at our local B&N for Jeffrey's school.  The school gets a portion of the proceeds and the parents are treated to a few songs by the kids.  After two songs and a poem, Mary Lynn was no longer content as an audience member.  She slowly made her way up on stage and started singing and doing the hand motions to the songs.  She has never heard them before, but she did pretty well following the teacher.  She reveled in the applause and took a bow at the end.  I think she will probably be in show business. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She was having trouble opening the bathroom door this morning as I was getting ready.  I heard her struggling with the door knob and then saying to the door  "Scuse me, comin' fru!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` The kids were eating some apples, grapes, and cheese cubes this morning and we were amazed at how well Mary Lynn was eating everything.  Chris must have been a little too glowing because Jeffrey dismissed it as something very normal indeed.  Chris mentioned that Jeffrey eats so well that we don't have to worry about his nutrition, but since Mary Lynn eats so little its worth celebrating.  He called Jeffrey a "vacuum" that eats anything. Jeffrey said "Mary Lynn's a vacuum too, she's just out of batteries."

06:53 pm - At Least the Dime Stumped Him We tried a restaurant in downtown Irwin we had never been to before.  We have been avoiding eating out lately since Mary Lynn is very much 2.  We were pulling out all our tricks to keep her from jumping on the heads of the patrons next to us.  Daddy emptied out his pocket of coins and I tried to get her to stack them.  They were keeping her occupied so I engaged Jeffrey in a small educational moment.  I showed him a penny and asked him if he knew how much money it was.  He asked to look at it closer.  "Hey, that's Lincoln!"  He turned it over.  "And, that's the Lincoln Memorial!"  What!?!?!  He went on to read the coin and found out it was one cent.  I then handed him a quarter to see if he could read its amount.  "Is that Washington?"  Are you kidding me?  Who taught him the presidents?
