One of my favorite sandwiches in all the land:
A Groucho's STP (all-turkey for me) with 45 Sauce. Seriously, it doesn't get much better.
And yes, those are potato chips on the sandwich--the only way I do it.
Happy Friday!

Motherhood, Officially
Sounds silly, but today the fact that I am a mother finally hit me like a ton of bricks. You wanna know why?
My shopping list includes the makings for cupcakes made to look like pumpkins and Halloween stickers for my adorable child's Halloween party at school tomorrow. Plus, I just realized that every. single. picture. I have posted on a social media site lately has been of said adorable child.
As if that wasn't enough, the ever-growing baby bump under my maternity jeans and sweater and the contantly-moving baby therein, give me a pretty much hourly reminder that I'm officially a mom. It's pretty grand.
Happy Halloween!

Culture in Columbia
There is so much going on in Columbia, SC in the next few weeks! So many events I want to attend and shows I want to see...alas, with a toddler at home, a husband who works most evenings, and a baby on the way, (read: I am tired all the time), it makes it a little challenging to do everything I want to.
Not sure what will shake out, but here are a few things I'm really hoping to partake in:
Sleepwalk With Me at The Nickelodeon. This film is by the producers of This American Life. Need I say more? (I love Ira Glass and I love that show--I even have the app on my phone!) The film is playing at The Nick through October 18th.
Red at Columbia Museum of Art. You've probably heard that the CMA is exhibiting Mark Rothko works right now, (definitely on the to-do list). Well, in conjunction with Trutus Theatre, they are also putting on a Broadway play of Rothko's life called Red. Playing tonight through Sunday.
NPR's Scott Simon, the host of Weekend Edition, will speak at USC on October 23rd as part of their Fall Literary Festival. Another of my favorite NPR personalities and shows.
So, what are you up to these crisp Fall days? There's plenty to choose from. We're going to take the babe to the State Fair next week--can't wait to see him on the kiddie rides!

Green Shoes
Anyone who knows me well knows that my favorite color is green.
Last week, I purchased these on-line, only to find out after a day of wearing them that they were too small:
So, I passed them on to my mom who has smaller feet than I. After learning a size bigger was not available from Old Navy any longer, I bought these instead:
Anxiously awaiting their arrival.
I mean, everyone needs a pair of green shoes, right?

My Toddler's Favorites
My 20-month-old's teachers told me yesterday that they had noticed that every time they tell the class to pick a book from the bookshelf, Jones always picks the same one: a book with kid-friendly recipes. They said it has pictures of foods made into cute little animals and shapes. I guess I'm not really surprised; the boy does love to eat. (And he gets it quite honestly, from momma and daddy).
At home, his favorite books right now include:
He is really into books where he can point out and say the word for what he sees on the page--it is amazing to see his comprehension expand so quickly! And his vocabulary is catching up, too. Although he still speaks entire paragraphs in seeming-gibberish, we are beginning to understand him more and more. His favorite words right now are "truck" (cuck) and "bus." He loves to point out every truck and bus we see when we're in the car. He also always points out the fountain ("wa-wa, mama!") that we see on our route to and from school everyday and the firetrucks in the fire house on Devine Street.
He's starting to put together 2-word phrases really well: "hold you" (when he wants to be picked up) is my absolute favorite...I mean, how can you resist that!? He also says "love you, mama/dada/yaya/didi/caca" to whoever he's with. I enact the proverbial hand-clasp-over-heart every time I hear it.

Play
"If a child has been able in his play to give up his whole living being to the world around him, he will be able, in the serious tasks of later life, to devote himself with confidence to the service of the world."
