An era gone by

My sign that Owen was still my baby was the way that he always said, "Hold you" when he wanted to be picked up. Now not only does he not ask to be picked up, but on the rare occasion it does happen, he asks like the big boy he is--hold me he says. Not sure why this makes me particularly sad, but it does. He has sprouted up and his traces of babyhood have all but faded.

Circus time--Should I enlist my kids

Owen's first trip to the circus. Kids had a great time. We went with a group from Ellie's Destination Imagination team. There was a lot of cool stuff going on there. We were met by protesters at the door, but I kind of understand their point. I really could have done without the elephants and the tigers. I found myself feeling sorry for them. I don't feel like they were really being whipped, but I saw a lot of prodders and the keepers flicking whips on the floor.

Owen's favorite part was the girl getting shot out of the canon. The girls liked the people who walked around the spinning cylinders. Looking at all the dancing, acrobats, silly skits, etc. made me wonder if I should sign my kids up. I think they would fit in nicely. Good Family Day!
