mish mash

we had such a nice thanksgiving.  we were invited back friday night for thanksgiving-leftovers-made-into-mouth-watering-thai-food.  my god that was the best meal i've had in a long time.  my friend's mama can do shockingly tasty things with some leftovers.  and z got her fill of sticky rice (rolled into balls and stuffed greedily into cheeks all squirrel-like).  fish sauce... mmmmm. 

*****

z's peed, unprompted, into the potty three times in the last two days.  she is amazing, of course.  we went to target today to get her elmo and dora underwear.  once i've had a chance to wash them, we'll see if she has any interest. 

*****

we're just slowly chugging along, enjoying the four-day weekend.  i'm going to go watch harry potter and the goblet of fire with husband.
