"She was happy to see us though."

Sunday, April 26, 1992

     Thursday Ez. & I went to the library. She did fairly well. I couldn't find very many board books this time. After that we went to Babylady. I got her two dresses, some long pants, a sun suit, & several tops.

     Friday morning we went over to Michelle Bridgeman's to take her some of the scraps from Ez's quilt to use to make a rabbit for her. I'd seen one she'd made out of fabric strips with blue ribbons & asked if she could make me one with pink ribbons. That was a couple of months ago & I asked her a couple of weeks ago if she would still be able to & she said yes. (She's 8 mo. pregnant.) Then Thur. I got the idea of using the quilt fabric instead of ribbons. I was supposed to call her to see if they'd be able to keep Ez. for us Sat. aft. I'd asked her mother, Sue Forsythe, several weeks ago if she'd be interested in watching her some Sat. aft. for us & she said she would but then we didn't have a free Sat. since then. Last Sun. morning she said she'd been waiting for us to call her & I told her I was planning to ask her about this Sat. & she said they were going to Florida for the week & wouldn't be back til late Sat. night. Sun. night Bob & Michelle were sitting in front of us and out of the blue I decided to ask if they could watch her. I told Michelle I didn't know if she should pick Ez. up cause she's so heavy. She said to call toward the end of the week. I called Thur. about that and the rabbit and she said they would be able to keep Ez. When I took the fabric over there we stayed for a little bit so she could get used to being around them.

     She did fine Sat. She slept for about an hour on the couch with Bob. Didn't even use the Travel Tender. We went to Janaf to see Thunderheart. It was pretty good–I'd like to see it again to pick up on some details. I had Guy call them after the movie to see how she was doing. She was doing fine. We went to Big Lots to see if they had any high chairs but they didn't. We found some games for our Atari for $1-3 each. We got Dig Dug & QBert & a couple of combat things for Guy. Then we went to Wal-Mart. Among other usual stuff, we picked up the last roll of film. They messed one (two) of them up–got half of two pictures on one print. They said they'd redo them for free & it'd take a week. It was about 3:30 when we got to their place so she was there for 5 hours. They said she did fine. She was happy to see us though.

     Today Daniel Simpson gave Ez. a pair of "tennis" shoes for her birthday. They're Stride-Rite, which are supposed to be good kids shoes. We didn't get around to trying them on her yet but they're size 4. He said he left the receipt in the bag in case we needed to exchange them.
