My Seussical Life for 2003 October 24

(5) Fri Oct 24 2003 14:18 Wiltingly In Love: My mother has a "boyfriend." What a strange reversal of roles to hear my mother carry on like I am her college roomate and she has just found the man of her dreams. Stories about staying out until 4:00 in the morning talking, descriptions of the first kiss, you know. She really is in love.

Fri Oct 24 2003 14:26 What they say about dogs is true . . .: Our backyard neighbor has two doggies. Anytime an emergency siren wails, the dogs add their own howling echo. It is rather cute, and I actually look forward to it. The funny thing is, they start to howl minutes before I hear the siren. Dog ears really are more sensitive than human ears!

(1) Fri Oct 24 2003 20:12 Superman for Hire: Samuel found Atticus' Superman cape today. He brought it to me, grunting until I took it from his hands. Then he turned his back to me--and waited until I put on the cape. Our "baby" Samuel will be one in three weeks. He strolls around the apartment, and has even attempted to run a few times. We can't believe how much he's grown.
