1. The girls have to come up with topics for a months-long research report. They are supposed to pick a topic that they are excited about and interested in. Here are the three that they are going to submit:

M: 1 – Misty Copeland; 2 – Wendy Mass; 3 – Classical Ballet

A: 1- Therapy Dogs; 2 – Candy Scientists; 3 – Hillary Clinton

2. Every night aftwe we read a book, N then wants it in his bed while he's sleeping. The books in his crib tonight: Ella Sarah Gets Dressed ("and her RED HAT"); Goodnight Gorilla; Hungry Hungry Caterpillar; and Clifford the Big Red Dog

3. Everyone had a delayed start today because of a pathetic dusting of snow that we got at 6AM. Totally unnecessary.

4. I made a banana bread yesterday morning, and it was down to one piece left by last night. N is drinking less babas and eating more, though he didn't eat much today.

5. N has discovered marshmallows.

Off to sleep.
