I don't know what it is about present-buying month, as December is referred to around here, that makes me so impatient. Oscar's birthday and Christmas are right around the corner and we've started buying up every toy in town but we(I) can never wait for present opening days. I need to stash the presents in the basement or the trunk of the car to keep myself from them. Same impulse control I had when I was 10 years old secretly unwrapping hidden xmas presents in my mom's closet. We discovered Oscar likes to pour tea after he latched on to the props for Henny's card and so we had to jump at this tea set at Land of Nod, the only non-girly tea set I've been able to find. Kanga couldn't wait til O's birthday for his cuppa.

ok, time to pick up my knitting and make Oscar's breakfast. You'd be amazed at what I'm now able to do while knitting. in deadline news -- I'm one sweater sleeve, three sweater assemblies, one pom pom, half a head of hair, 3 faces and 3 pairs of shoes away from being a very happy person.
