Roughly translated, here's what it says:
Sunday 4-1991 (I was 6 1/2). Today we ate breakfast, and then we ate lunch. We went to church. Today it is ma may. Today we went to school. I went to go home. I got a snack. I got (something). I watched TV. I loved watching TV.
May 1991 Thursday is May. My mom had her birthday today. I gave mom a note on Peggy's birthday. Mom had a happy birthday. We had a good breakfast.
Gosh, I can't believe that was 20 years ago this month!
Whenever Penelope does something funny, I often think oh I'll remember this forever. Of course that's never the case. I was overjoyed to get Knock Knock's parenting journal. It's full of hilarious quotes & it focuses on the imperfections of parenting. The front cover really says it all

Since receiving the journal I've written in it pretty much every other night; if not, every night. It's great to document all of the Penelope-isms & track Felix's growth. Oh, Felix ROLLED OVER today. WHA? Penelope didn't roll over until she was at least six months. I'm in trouble.
Knock Knock also sent along Parenting Flash Cards (so hilarious & the perfect gift for first-time parents) and a Let's Pretend Pad. Chris & I just laughed & laughed while we read the parenting flash cards. They're hilarious!
I'm not sure if Penelope is old enough to play with the Let's Pretend pad, but after she seemed so interested in air stories last night, I might give it a try soon. Just barely I've started telling air stories to Penelope; it was something that my parents did for me as a kid. I loved those! Basically my parents would sit at the foot of our beds & we'd all contribute to a made up story. It was so fun!
Knock Knock was so nice to send these goodies my way & offer to sponsor a giveaway. I gladly accepted for a few reasons:
- I love everything Knock Knock
- I need a journal
- I want you to share your playtime activities with me
Yeah, I need ideas for things to do with Penelope. We're in a rut these days. All we ever do is go to the park, run errands or watch TV together. Every once in a while I'll bust out the paints or playdough, but other than that, our days are pretty boring.
