While at my parents' home this afternoon, I noticed my mother's current reading material is a romance novel titled "Keeper of the Heart." Which led to me wondering if the Harry Potter wizarding world has their own fiction novels. I mean, they have music broadcast programs, so they must have other types of creative arts as well, right? And I can picture it being a Quidditch romance trilogy - Seeker of the Heart, Chaser of the Heart, and Keeper of the Heart. Maybe with a fourth volume titled Beater of the Heart which fans agreed was Never To Be Spoken Of Again, It Does Not Exist. :)

The Squiddle had his second birthday yesterday, so I had invited the other toddlers from his playgroup over for a playdate. It was an incredible fizzle - only one was able to come, and she didn't stay for long. Alas. I'm blaming it on the heat (101 degrees yesterday) and have decided to just be thankful that it happened when he was two and had no comprehension of what was going on, instead of when he's like eight and would have a meltdown over his friends not showing up for a birthday party. After the party-that-wasn't, he and I went out to the back patio and he had a grand old time splashsplashsplashing in his wading pool. So that at least was a success.

I've also taken to sewing for Squiddle recently. At two years of age, he's wearing size 4-5 shorts! Buying pyjamas for him is useless, as they're designed for long skinny toddlers not long bellyful toddlers. So I pulled out Simplicity 1570 and have made him three sets out of quilting cottons so far. Because god knows I have too much fabric. And they look good on him, and comfy. Plus Wonderful Husband suggested that I use the serger for the interior seams, which I decided to give a try, and oh my it makes it go so much faster, not having to finish all those seams!
