OMG
Today, I am banished to work in the cafe since Tadpole's playschool was without a room and ended up at our place. I am of course sitting here knitting (poffertjes, if you're curious) in front of my computer and who walks up to me and says "That's a very rare profession! Congratulations!"? Man on Right from this wonderful morning. Thank goodness a friend of his came in soon after to distract him. I am without headphones or a friend to talk to.
I'll be posting to the twist blog soon with my poffertjes if you're curious.
And if your comment hasn't shown up for the last post I made (THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR WONDERFUL SUGGESTIONS!) it's because I have to approve them and weed out all of the spam. I will do it soon, I hope. and I hope to also make a list of the books in one place. One of these days...

quick quick
I don't know if anyone actually reads this blog anymore, as I've posted once in the last 6 months, but I figured it was worth a shot.
I have a dilemma. My daughter is a girl (obviously). We like to read. She likes books with stories. Most of the books she likes (In the Night Kitchen is a fave) feature boys. When we find a book that has a girl in it, often the girl is sacrificing her own well being in order to please others, or doing some stereotypically fluffy, pink, girly activity rather than doing something fun and adventuresome and smart. Would someone please please please please please give us some good books to read with girls in them? Sometimes I change characters to girls, but it doesn't always work. Help. Tadpole is now 3. Nothing scary please. We have enough problems with nightmares around here.
And if you feel like it say hi.
