Best Part of the Day-
My mom came over and helped me do a backyard project.  (All of one sudden I am serious home project mode.  A laborious way to distract myself, perhaps...)  It was awesome having a helper who was enthusiastic (to say the least).  What took me all last summer to complete (solo), we did today in just over an hour.  Zoinks.

Worst Part of the Day-
When Scarlet hangs around older kids, say 8-12 years-old, she always comes away with the experience acting like a sassy, slightly smart-mouthed grade schooler.  It is clear she is doing an ingenious job of method acting, but it is highly annoying for me to witness.  At one point I told her she would lose a privilege if she didn't lose the attitude (my lord, she's 4!), she said with the well-studied smirk of a 4th grader, "Good, I don't want my stuffed animals anyways--they're babyish..."   OMG.
