The camellia bush has gone into hiding, but there are a bunch of angry rhododendrons about.

I've had to adapt Elaine's and my board book reading game. Now, instead of sitting on the floor next to the box of board books, I sit on the far side of the room. After finishing a book, I toss it six feet to the box. This means Elaine has to crawl back and forth a bunch, tiring herself out, if she wants me to read "Little Boy Blue" eighteen times in a row. (Though, her latest favorite is "Cotton Candy" -- a My Little Pony book.)
