...we learned the strength of a 13 1/2 month-old toddler, what our stimulus package check will be going towards, and how much a new pair of glasses costs.
While Justin was out for a bike ride during the late afternoon yesterday, I momentarily turned my back on Madeleine. Never a good idea these days! She had grabbed Justin's glasses (which he had left within reach on a table), stepped on them and bent the arms in opposite directions all within a 4 second period. I caught the end of the show in time to watch the destruction. It was pointless to discipline Madeleine--she didn't know or understand--but nevertheless I knew how our generous government gift would now be spent.
Justin fortunately managed to get in and be seen this morning. $330.00 later, he will soon have a pair of unbreakable titanium glasses (something to keep in mind for those of you who wear glasses and do not yet have destructive toddlers in your home).
"Life's an adventure with the Clines." I married into this but now I'm a full-fledged contributor.

titanium eh? good to know. you gotta love the unpredictability of toddlers. i wonder if spending the stimulus check on glasses was what mr. president had in mind. ours went to pay off the washer and dryer we had already purchased. so much for putting $ back into our economy. Many people will be paying off ever-increasing debt with it... oh well!
