It’s been a while since I’ve updated the list of favorites in Lindsay-land, so while I sit here “serving” my “civic duty” I thought I’d try to do something somewhat more productive than posting about eating chicken wings. By far the big hit of the house these days is Mary Poppins. She loves the songs, the dances, the characters, the tuppence, etc. She likes to call me Bert and fancies herself to be either/both Jane or Mary. She’s in favor of the women’s suffrage movement. She likes to talk about soot and ash and chimneys and feeding the birds. All of it.

And speaking of soot and ash, another favorite these days is volcanoes. It’s not clear how she got hooked on these, but she is hooked. It might have been the fact that one of her friends went to Hawaii over Christmas. Anyway, her eyes get a little crazy when she talks about all of the lava and the erupting and the soot and ash. Over the weekend she and Jenn even made a volcano, and the Daddy was called upon to make it erupt.

She’s still a big fan of the color pink, including a pair of pink boots and pink Crocs. She now has “best friends” at preschool, although we fear that they may just be the girls who do what she tells them… She’s still crazy about Bunny, who returned home just before Christmas after an extended Runaway Bunny period. Bunny says she needed to “find herself,” but we think all the booger-wiping finally got to her. Nonetheless, she’s home, and we’re all grateful for that.
