She did have a good birthday&amp;mash;or as good as it gets when someone is wiping your nose every couple of minutes. She enjoyed getting her stickers, her very own deck of cards (a gift as much to her remarkably patient sister as to her), and her <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babar%27s_Museum_of_Art" rel="nofollow noopener"><em>Babar's Museum of Art</em></a> book, which I recommend highly. I first saw the book in an art museum store, and fell in love with it as soon as I saw the subtitle: <em>Closed Mondays</em>. I was completely sold when I recognized the inspiration for the story as the Musée D'Orsay. Cap it off with the fact that it is hard to introduce this set of grandchildren to great art because of their parents' (understandable) reluctance to have pictures of nudes or even semi-nudes lying around, and it was a triple-crown winner. Who can object to a nude elephant?</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/694/27482013-02-23T17:04:10ZEric<p>I say there are really only two jobs in life. One is putting the Legos together. The other is taking the Legos apart. One sometimes requires duct tape and the other WD-40. Joy is already half-way there and she's not yet 2! Bravo, and happy birthday!</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/694/27472013-02-23T14:53:39Zdstb<p>Happy Birthday, Joy!</p>
