Homestead Mama and Pequita were up at 7am (well, Pequita was and H-mama followed her lead) and went downtown to run errands. They came back at 10 and I suggested that we dart down to the diner Hottie Friend reminded me about - H-mama is all about the diner, so off we went. Thirty minutes later and we were enjoying corn bread & homefries with sausage gravy. Mmmm.

Since it was right around the corner and it was Saturday, we decided to go join the local kids science center - for a modest fee, we now have a 12-month membership to heaven. Pequita LOVES the under-4 years old room. Instead of figuring out how to keep a toddler interested in our same toys day in and day out for the entire cold winter, we can change it up by going on a field trip to this place. The water table is a big hit.

Pequita is hot on the trail of the concepts of under, over, in and out. She now looks under furniture, cars, anything with a gap under it. And is frequently rewarded. She found this green plastic thing under the water tub, and it was her favorite toy for the duration of the visit. And yes, we took our daughter out in her slippers. That is because Homestead Mama dressed her, and this usually means assessing if yesterday's clothes are still clean enough to wear. I changed her when we got home.
