Had to drive Norman to work. Lucy was very intrigued by the "trolly" bus that makes the loop on campus. She thought it was a train at first.
Grocery stores. We were buying several special things for her birthday, so we had some good conversations about what we need and what we don't need, what makes sense for the party and what doesn't, etc. And she got to pick out which color plates and cups she wanted. And I got her a hoola hoop.
We listened to Laurie Berkner in the car, which, in addition to just being good, fun music, is very educational. :-) Spelling and counting and animals and all sorts of things.
I explained organ donation to her. She's been talking about death a lot lately (normal), and we've also been reading that Charlie & Lola recycling book -- so she made a joke about recycling dead people. So I just went for it. Not sure yet if I'm going to regret that later or not...
Watched Cars. ("If I was a race car on that show, I'd be Lightning The Queen!") And also the bonus features about Route 66.
Learned about making hummus (because I made some and she was curious about how that is accomplished) (she was watching TV with her noise-cancelling headphones on [??] while I made it).
Watched Curious George. This was the third time she'd watched the one where he flies a kite.
So I found our cheapo kites and we went to the park real quick to try to fly one. It was plenty windy enough, but I have no kite-flying skills. Lucy got bored pretty quick, so we came home.
Norman read her We Are Extremely Very Good Recyclers (Charlie & Lola).
