today after mass, ralph and i went to a park across the street. ten or so years ago it was a nice park, new recycled tires for bedding and new structures made out of recycled products... really cool! today, not so much. there were bullet holes, graffiti tags, and debris everywhere. granted it IS, technically, in the hood, but i was still disappointed. i'll tell you who was NOT disappointed... ralph! he had a ball! there were still structures intact and fun things to do, we were there about an hour. the first thing we did was swing on a tire swing. i got it going around and around and whizzing. ralph was giggling and laughing and said, "mom! this makes a tickle in my penis... it's really weird!" when i told jonathan, he told me he remembers saying that as a kid.
cecelia was SOOO helpful the other night to jonathan, that he decided to buy her a new binder for school, something she has wanted for a while. they went to officemax and found one for $8. but the one cecelia wanted was $16 dollars. she was fine with the $8 one. but jonathan demonstrated to her how proud we are of her and how much it means to us when she is helpful and he splurged for the $16 binder. she was SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! she thanked and thanked and thanked him! then at bedtime, she said, "if i had a little sister, i could give this binder to her when i am finished with it, but i have brothers!!"
