Elliot is feeling better. I can tell because his running commentary about everything he sees and thinks is back. Because he had been sick he went to John’s parents today so I could take Audrey to swim lessons and Zoo Tots. I didn’t want to risk Elliot getting the other kids sick.
Audrey and I had a great day. We started at the Y for swim lessons (for her) and a workout (for me). I can’t imagine fitting my butt in a locker to use it as a seat, but Audrey thought it was pretty comfortable.
After the Y we went to Zoo Tots. This week the theme was “See You Later Alligator.” They had a lot of fun with the theme. They made a pickle alligator snack.
They got to pet an alligator.
By the end of the day, Audrey and I were pretty tired, and Elliot was ready to be back with us. I still haven’t had much time to knit, or begin to think about writing my February reads post. I’m about to head to bed early to read. See you later, alligator.

Happy to hear Elliot is on the mend. It is almost Friday; maybe you’ll catch up on some things over the weekend.

I hope so! My house is messy and I have so much to do, but all I want to do is drink tea and knit.

Days like that I set the kitchen timer and break my day up into sections of “gotta do” and “wanna do”!

I have learned to hide my fear. It’s how I was able to start picking up frogs last year.

Audrey loves pickles, so she was thrilled with the alligator snack. I think I might let her make them at home, she would be thrilled.
