Fulfilling a Request
Feb 26th, 2009 by Anna
My mom asked for some video of Laurel’s new language skills. Grammy always gets what Grammy wants. Am I right, Dad?
I am working hard to meet my goal of running a seven minute mile. So far I am running my usual distance with a half-mile at a seven minute mile pace. My plan is to keep adding distance at the fast pace until I reach my goal. It is so hard. I feel like I would give up on this crazy idea if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve advertised it on the blog. Therefore, in order to save face, I am sticking with it.
One last random note is on a silly thing that Oscar says every once in a while. We have no idea where this came from.
Oscar says “Dad, do you know what I am going to give you for your next birthday?”
Brian says “What, kiddo?”
Oscar replies “A sad, backwards glance.”
Say what!? Is this from a movie or something? Crazy kid.

Good luck! I know you can do it! =)
I guess we should have recognized this ourselves, but googling for “sad backwards glance” results in a handful of references to The Lorax . . . and we know how many times he’s heard that story!
“The Lorax said nothing. Just gave me a glance…
Just gave me a very sad, sad backwards glance…
As he lifted himself by the seat of his pants.”
And now Laurel, can you say, “Precious”? Grammy
