If you watched LOST, you'll get this. If not, you should really get the dvd box set. It was awesome.

The rabbits live on our terrace, in 2 separate cages (so as not to induce possible bunny boxing matches, which had occurred when we tried to cohabitate 2 prior bunnies).  Dave spent time cleaning and rearranging the terrace yesterday and decided that it's time for the 2 rabbits to live together in the ginormous hutch (thereby simplifying cage cleaning and giving us more space).  He came back into the apartment and filled me in.

Dave: "They're going to work out just fine"

Me: "Really?  How can you tell?"

Dave: "Well, I just told them.  Live together, or die alone."

(Although if you reflect on it, the statement doesn't totally make sense, it was enough to make me spit out my coffee.)

Live together!  We choose "live together"!

In other news, I had a panic attack today (tears and all) about my failure in trying to teach Maya shapes and colors.   Or much of anything lately.  I've been so focused on the PT work, and the feeding/speech work, that I feel like I haven't been doing many cognitive types of exercises or direct teaching.  Since her receptive learning-ness (that's a technical term) seems to be her biggest strength, I had a total meltdown over how we'll never get into preschool (and therefore elementary school, middle school, college, or be successful at life) because I haven't been mentally stimulating her enough.  Luckily one of the therapists could tell by my manic-sounding text message that I was out on a ledge, and she called to talk me down.

(This may or may not have been triggered by the fact that I'm going on a preschool tour this Friday. Yeah, that's probably what did it.)

Easter :)

with cousin Emerson, aka Maya's biggest fan

The Shuff crew brought a parachute to play with!

Emerson & Collin

Whoa-this parachute is amazing.

Do not even think about bouncing me out of here. I've got my eye on you.

Cousin love :)

I love this picture, even though Maya's trying to cast a spell on my mom as she takes it :)

Will update soon, here's an Easter peek:

Maya & Gus enjoy the NJ sunshine on Easter :)

Here are some pictures from today . . . I took both of them with my phone, so the quality's not so great, but whatever. Maya & I spent some time at Starbucks this morning, which is our typical outing. She loves to look around at the people, and I like the espresso. We're getting to know the cast of characters who call Starbucks their home and my 2 favorites by far are: Loud Grumpy Old Man who tries to get strangers to play chess with him and Goth College Kid who takes out books, stares at a page while he drinks a cup of coffee with shaking hands (sometimes he forgets to open the books and just stares at the cover . . . Maya suspects he's on something. I concur.) I must be Lady Who Sits With Baby for 2 hours with giant iced latte.

Hiya everybody!

Peanut's new digs
(She moved to an outdoor hutch on the terrace because of Maya's allergies and is having a great time.)
