This has been an interesting week. The temperatures cooled off somewhat (like down to 95) as the Austin area wore a thick blanket of smoke. It is 102 today.
When I posted last week, a mere 300 homes had burned. The total nears 1500 now. In honor of my birthday today, we donated several boxes of household goods to families who lost everything. We parted with a set of Pier 1 plates, pots and pans, a blender, bedding, and ummmm what else? We made a good contact for making donations (she used to be the president of something or other in that area) so we will donate more mid-week.
On Tuesday, the fall session of music class started. We are now in the routine of going to music class, going home for a nap, and then visiting the jumpy gym on Tuesdays to run down my energy. (I usually over-nap after music class.) This Tuesday at the jumpy gym, I was so excited and having so much fun that I hopped down the trampoline track to hug my mom with an "I love you."
On Wednesday, my dad told me something like if you do this, then that will happen. I replied with a headstrong "I don't care."
Yesterday, I started using similes in my speech. "This pile of dirt is as big as a big rig." And "This rock is big like a cement mixer."
