Off to Curtis Orchard
John didn't remember ever visiting Curtis Orchard in Champaign (which he has visited many times as a toddler) so we added that to our stops yesterday. First a speech therapy appointment with Doctor Anna, then we plotted a new secret back-route to Sam's Club - a route that takes us under the interstate twice! - then a quick stop at Aldi's & on to the orchard. John's a lot of fun to travel with - full of questions, observations and good humor.

Big Kid day
Today at luch we decreed that on this day, Monday, October 1, 2007, 5-year-old John White is a Big Kid. And there was much rejoicing: no naps required and bedtime moved from 8:30 to 9:30 with full "stay up in bed as late as you like as long as you're reading" rights.

Miles and Coltrane: So What, live in 1958
Our 5-year-old John says he's going to have a guitar and a trumpet when he grows up, so I googled up a video of Miles Davis playing my favorite of his, So What. Coltrane's there, too, and lots of guys smoking in the background. Good, good stuff:
