My free time of late has been taken up by helping Mr. Peanut put together some signs for his section at the new store. Thus, this will be a very short entry. I will just give you a window into my world by relating this conversation that I had today with Miss.
Me: Get off of the coffee table.
Miss: (singing) Step in time, step in time, come on maties, step in time.
Me: Get off of the coffee table *right now*.
Miss: (singing) Step in time, step in time, flap like a birdy, step in time.
Me: *DO NOT* stand on the coffee table. Get *down* NOW.
Miss: (crying) But Mommmmmyyyyyyy, I *need* to flap like a birdy, step in time!!
Oh, how she loves Mary Poppins. She often wants me to call her Jane. She sits looking longingly at the ceiling and tells me that she wants to "go up there like the guy who loves to laugh." I can hear her singing the entire score when she's in her room for "nap time." She can completely transport herself into that world, and can't think of anything that would be better than going on a "Jolly Holiday." We don't actually watch the movie very often . . . she has only seen it once since we moved here. But, I think that she actually enjoys imagining it all even more than seeing it on the screen.
I love watching her imagine and pretend. It is adorable and precious. As long as she stays off of the coffee table.

Hi Mrs. Peanut,
I am at sister Peanut's house right now with cousins Peanut. She is visiting Nana Peanut at the hospital right now. After she gets back then I will go for a bit. I have to work at 11:10 today, so it will be a short visit. We probably won't visit in the next few days since C. is coming this afternoon. I think it is going to be a while before Nana has her strength back. She was VERY weak yesterday. Please continue to pray for her, Da, and for all of us. We love you!

Goodness! I meant to say, "step in time!" to Miss Peanut!! I guess stepping in timeon the coffee table is not the best place to step in time!! Please tell Miss that I love her, and that I wish I could see her "step in time" very, very soon. Also, tell Mr. Peanut we are thinking about him so much as the days draw near for the store to open!
Love, G.G. Peanut
