Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

So, the past few weeks I have been deep into planning for the fall, including watching the borrowed IEW structure and style dvds.

My ds has watched over my shoulder for quite a bit of those. He enjoyed the "banned word" idea and liked thinking up alternatives. The whole thesaurus idea is a fairly new one for him.

Anyway, today we were at a used book sale- one we've never been to before that was quite large (and no A/C in the buidling ). I could tell ds was getting frustrated and asked what he was looking for. He said he couldn't find the section with dictionaries, so I helped him find them in the children's area. Turns out he was after a thesaurus.

I pulled a kid's one off the shelf for him to look through.
He took it and leafed through it, then turned to me with a look of pity in his eyes. He put his hand on my arm and said, "Mom, don't you know next year I'm going to need a really big one?"

I stood corrected, trying not to smile. Then we went and found a really, really thick one that measured up to his standards. In his mind, he is now all set for the fall .
