Stories From the Week

The other day, as Irene was eating her lunch and I was standing withing sight of her, she said, "Mommy, look! My eye is off!" I looked, and sure enough, she has figured out how to close one eye. Later that day, she said to my sister, "One eye off, one eye on, see?"

In other news, today, Irene and I went to watch Mark play outdoor soccer for the first time. We do not normally go because it is quite early in the morning to make such an expedition. He plays with a couple of guys from church and their friends, nothing organized. Irene was beside herself with excitement this morning, and "watch Daddy play soccer" was all she could think about. At one point during the game, I noticed that Mark was making a good play, and I whispered to her that she should say "Go, Daddy!" She started shouting "Go, my Daddy, go! Go, my Daddy, go! Go, my Daddy, go!" He later told me that it was his best play of the game.
