Uncle David (aka, Uncle Airplane) is here for a quick business trip. Rachel, who loves him dearly, was very excited to hear that he would be staying with us last night and tomorrow night (Tuesday). I plan to cook a nice dinner tomorrow night, plus we have homemade babka for dessert.
Rachel's very specific instructions to me last night were to put out the place cards she had made. She wrote up four, with each of our names on one side. On other side she wrote, HUG! I was told to put the place cards with HUG! at each table setting, and then when you turned the card over, there was the name of the person who was supposed to be in that seat.
The kid stuns me with her entertaining prowess. I told her the other night that if she wanted to, she could accompany me on my next big catering gig (assuming it's in D.C.) and she was wildly excited. The funny thing is, I think she'll actually be a help, which is why I suggested it.
Oh, and when I was about to bring my full-up laundry basket up the stairs, she insisted on carrying it herself. It was heavy and about twice her size, but my wiry, muscled little daughter did it all by herself without being asked. She has an uncommonly generous spirit. Yes, we got lucky with this one.
