long hot summer is finally cooling...

Drake and I have less time together, but we both have a great time when we hang out. I picked him up from his dad yesterday and we went to the library. He enjoyed picking out books about the alphabet and a couple of movies ("Big Bird Does the Alphabet" and some phonics thing he's had million times...). We read the books (all 4) before we checked them out. And, it's worth noting that he reads as much as I do when we sit with a book now. He also wanted to play computer games--he does this with Daddy, but Drake informed me that the computer is down at Daddy's so he wanted to play at the library. So he played a Reader Rabbit game until I was bored silly and then he got there, too, so we left. At 3 1/2 he is more fun than ever. He has a wicked sense of humor some times and he LOVES to dance. Last night we were at a couple of places with music playing and he twirled and kicked and went crazy (with no sense of rhythm that I could detect) until I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. It was completely joyous dancing, but I confess that I was laughing at him as well as with him. Man, it was funny.
