Mom was talking to Corwin this morning about Alice’s eye color. We still can’t tell if they’re going to be brown or blue. Corwin’s primary concern was why people can’t have red eyes (red being Corwin’s current favorite color). It’s probably for the best that doesn’t happen or Corwin would be permanently depressd over having brown ones.
Eventually Mom handed off Alice to me while she got ready to run some errands. Alice was a bit cranky as usual so I sat on the couch, bouncing her in the vain hope that she’d mellow out. Charles noticed this and it turned the little wheels in his head — “Alice is crying → Alice is unhappy → Alice needs something to make her happy → Alice needs a car”. Charles went off and returned with one of his toy cars and gave it to me with the explanation “for baby”. Sadly, the car did not suffice to cheer up Alice, so Charles went off to find a truck!
