Marbles

Spent a lovely afternoon visiting homes and gardens in the Society Hill neighborhood. Found this marble toy at a sidewalk sale along the way. Sebastien spent the rest of the afternoon and most of the evening running marbles through it and pointing out all the different oaths to us. Three dollars very well spent, I say.

This evening, as I was putting him to bed, after I said "sweet dreams," he said: "Tonight, I will dream about what we were eating earlier for dinner. [Hake, new potatoes in butter and artichoke...he must have loved them.] And there will be a CD in my dream. And it will play anything I want it to play. So I can have music in my dream..."

May you have many musical dreams, my child.
