Hmm. You'd think that after attending the kick off party for our library's summer reading program last night I'd remember to actually go to story time today, wouldn't you? So there I was at 10:25 a.m. I happened to look at today's date and thought, "June 17 sounds like a date we had planned to do something." Then I looked at the time and it hit me that we should have been at the library at 10 a.m. After muttering a few expletives, I went into the living room where Accalia was happily playing with a toy she bought with birthday money and told her of my scatterbrained mistake. Not sure she did more than give me a slight nod. Oh well. Maybe next week.

After putting Cole down for a nap this afternoon, I started reading to Accalia. She's semi excited about the prospect of getting a "surprise" for every 100 minutes of reading. After five minutes she slid off the couch to play with her new toys once again.

Cory didn't leave until nearly 8 a.m. for his first day in Springfield. He'll usually be out of the house around 7, but this was so, so nice having another adult around in the morning for a bit. Didn't mean I actually got a shower in before he left, but oh well!

Lucy has taken to sleeping up in bed with us for the past few nights. I doubt this shows an increased amount of affection for us. Most likely it's because she's no longer allowed up on the couch. It's very sweet and brings back memories of her puppy days, although now she's 60 pounds heavier and sharing space with two additional humans. I woke up at one point in the early morning and couldn't see Accalia in her twin bed that is set up next to our queen sized bed. I saw Lucy at the foot of her bed but no Accalia. Finally I saw Accalia down at the foot of the bed, too, snuggled up next to Lucy. That was nice, but it wasn't so nice when Lucy moved over by me during the night, and just as I was spreading my legs slightly apart in an attempt to roll over, Lucy plopped down between my legs and I couldn't move them for some time. Or maybe I just fell asleep again before I tried to move them...
