18 March 2020

Bobo found a pack of sticky notes and left love notes for all of us next to our beds.  They say "Love to evreone" with our names on them and a heart.  I tried to upload a picture but it didn't work.

When I put Rosebud in bed at night, she often stops me from leaving by saying, "Mom, I have a question."  But she pronounces 'question' funny, like 'kes-tun'.  It's cute to hear her little mouth working its way around a difficult word.

Speaking of funny speech, Bobo has a odd little stuttery habit of repeating a word with the first letter omitted when he gets stuck halfway through a sentence.  He'll say something like, "And then on the battleship... attleship... attleship..." while he's reaching for the next word.  It's funny how he drops only the first letter.

My parents were here visiting last weekend and we had a cookout and did some hanging out with them.  They are making a grand tour across the country (again) and catching up with all their grandkids.

I've been put on telework "until further notice" and school is cancelled for Rose Pink until April 6, so we are having several quiet weeks at home.  We've picked up a bad head cold that we're passing around - Rosebud has an ear infection from it.  So far our biggest concern about the COVID-19 pandemic is that we are really really low on toilet paper.  Fortunately Texas started cancelling public gatherings before they had more than five cases, so hopefully that will mitigate the impact here and we won't have to have shelter-in-place or anything like that.
