"So throw away those Lamentations,
We both know them all too well.
If there's a Book of Jubilations,
We'll have to write it for ourselves.."

Pinchworm

Nora made a new friend this weekend. He was hitch-hiking on some greens that I brought in from the garden and narrowly avoided being washed down the sink. She was tickled by him and his mode of locomotion. She also couldn't understand why something called a "pinchworm" wasn't hurting her.

After letting Nora torment the poor guy for about an hour, I made her release him back into the yard. She wanted to get pictures of him first, just like with Karist. I thought that sounded reasonable.


She begged me to print this picture out for her, so that she could show her friends at school. She also has an elaborate plan to put up pictures of various things (pinchworms, moths, seals, pandas) on her walls. I see a bulletin board in our future.

A bulletin board sounds like a wonderful idea!

Now how about more picture of Nora???
Love, the nagging Nana

Not to sound like a Real Simple editor or anything, but we had all this artwork that Harp kept bringing home from school, and we were sick of throwing it out while he was asleep, so we hung up horizontally-oriented ribbons on the walls of his bedroom and bought these tiny clothespins from Michael's, and now he has wall-decorations that are continually rotating photos/artwork. You could do this, and hang up actual inchworms. Or photos. Whatever you choose.
