A thought to start the day - how does a two year old make a difference in the world? She discovers that when she pushes a button then her world becomes brighter, and when she pushes it again her world becomes darker. And so she learns that everytime she pushes that button she changes the world around her, and so she does so repeatedly. Eventually an adult will tell her to stop playing with the light switch.
Lunch at my parent's house. I learned something I never knew when my sister asked my mom how they chose my name. My mom wanted to name me Myron, after her brother. I met my uncle Myron once, when I travelled to Poland. He's very creative - he was building a model of the Mayflower when I visited him.
My dad wanted the name Orest because he saw the name Oris on a wristwatch that he gave my mom, and he liked the name. My mom still has that wristwatch. She showed it to me and sure enough, there in tiny letters I saw the name Oris. So I was named after a wristwatch! J says that it's no wonder that I am so structured with my schedules.
Wait a minute, I do the math here and realize - that wristwatch that my dad gave my mom would be over fourty years old!
J reminds me that we had promised the kids to take them swimming. She says she doesn't like to promise them we'll do something and then not do it. I agree. We're on a tight schedule but take them to the pool anyways. I say that I won't go into the pool today, but J says that an adult should be in the pool to watch over the kids. Okay, I go into the pool. The kids splash around and have fun, and I splash around and have fun with them.
