Tuesday, Sept. 19th - The politics of childhood

A quiet day today, albeit with a few lapses for loud and vigourous crying. We had ribs for supper, and Maggie absolutely loved gnawing on the bones. No vegetarian tendencies there. After supper we went for a walk over the beach and visited the cows. Maggie stayed in Dora mode the entire time. I am sure everyone in the harbour heard "Swiper, no swiping!" And the boys were the happiest they were all day on that walk. In particular, they loved when I had to push them up Jimmy's Hill. They both bounced enthusiastically all the way up, making the trek that much more challenging for Mom. I am sure I earned a few extra Weight Watchers points on that hike!
