Oh Canada, duck, duck goose and 40 million bucks

F is obsessed with singing "Oh Canada!" now. Specifically she is obsessed with me singing "Oh Canada!" with her. We sing in the car, we sing in the bathroom, we sing in the kitchen. We even sing in French. I'm hoping this too will pass.

Yesterday when I picked her up at daycare, I asked my usual "What did you do today?" Her response, "Mo-om, do you have to ask me the same thing every day?"

Today F's daycare teacher told me she had a big breakthrough. For the first time, she actually participated in a group game. Duck, duck goose actually. Usually, she sits in the circle, but declines when it's her turn. Today, she participated! (Maybe it was the half hour of practice playing "Doggie, doggie who's got your bone" with G and I last night. And no, this is not some strange sex game. :)

I broke down and bought 3 lottery tickets today for the 649. The jackpot is $40 million, the biggest ever, so we figured what the heck? At least we can fantasize about what we'd do until we find out we lost.
