Chapter 34

Feb 4: Archie and I went up to Granada Park with pop, candy, boat, book, kite and care bears. I read, and he got soaked playing. He even slid down the top part of the spillway. He loved it. At least he didn’t break his head open. Not enough wind for the kite. The care bears looked dead when they floated face down in the pond.

Feb 17: Archie’s class went to the symphony. I don’t know what they heard because he claims he and Nathan fell asleep with their heads together “and then the big boom in the middle woke them up”. Then he said he always argues with me because he never gets his way.

Feb 21: Archie had lunch at Valerie’s, boy there’s a family with problems too. Now he has Jared over to spend the night. So far, they’ve done puzzles, used the Lego, and now they’re coloring. It’s all so very peaceful with the radio on softly in the background. He’s telling Jared, “I know I’m going to be an artist when I grow up.”
