Reproachful Looks

Kiva and Ken are hilarious together. We went to Sears this morning as a trio to buy a new toaster. All went well until we were just ready to pay and leave. Kiva began howling to be walking without hand holding, and since she headed for the escalator immediately that was not allowed. Ken immediately said "you pay, I'll take her to the car" rescued his little darling from mean grammie and was on his way, with reproachful looks from both of them. When I caught up with them at the car, Kiva was behind the wheel (no motor running) playing with all the levers and steering wheel, a mini mint in her mouth, and indulgent bompa standing by. After we got home they walked around outside for a while then bottle and nap (by then it was 1130). She is sleeping peacefully, but did require a supplement to her bottle (gave her 8 oz to begin with) when she requested pathetically "mo ba ba" before she could go off to sleep. [Joan]
