Birthday Party

Well, Sadie the Wonder Beagle ate the control wire to the drip irrigation controller, so I had to go to Home Depot and get some new wire and plastic pipe to keep her from doing it again. Our pal Sneedlet One spent Saturday night with us and since his house is still being painted he is staying Sunday night too. I am taking him home before work tomorrow. He went with me to the Home Depot and on the way home something occurred to me. As we passed some houses he said, "There's a motor home truck." Toddlers are busy classifying stuff around them, so everything is a big deal. To me it was just an old motor home. To him it was important and distinctive. He distinguishes among all types of things like trucks. As we get older we lose our enthusiasm for things and trucks are just trucks. Interesting. One funny thing is that he calls the UPS trucks "King of Queens trucks" because of the television show. Sneedlet loves trucks and trains. We went to Sneedlet Two's birthday party at his maternal grandparents home today. It was very nice. It was just the grandparents, Daughter Sneed, and Older Son and Daughter-in-law Sneed and of course the two Sneedlets. The other grandparents have a pool so there was swimmming. Sneedlet One had never seen a pool before and was too scared to get in, although he did sit on the side and get his feet wet. Sneedlet Two is there all the time so he jumps right in. I have an agreement with the rest of the world never to disrobe in public so I watched. Sneedlet Two got a ton of toys and some money for his college fund. He doesn't need more toys, but what can you do. Poor Sneedlet One wanted to open his gifts but his birthday is not until next month. All in all, he took it pretty well. After we came home Sneedlet and I fixed the drip irrigation. Now he is watching a video. The lovely Mrs. Sneed is giving a lecture at the University to some Nursing students this week so she is busy working on that. I need to vacuum and pick up after the Sneedlet, so I better get cracking. Tommorrow, it is back to work. Yuk! Things in this blog represented to be fact, may or may not actually be true.
