how do parents decide what to buy for their kids. toys are just terribly designed nowadays to make normal any differences the kid might exhibit from the norm. we could not find anything that we thought were flexible enough to allow the kid to play around with without expectations of the 'right' outcome. finally we settled for some cars that can be dragged around by tianna and a flute to make music on for joanna. it was tianna's birthday in the evening and john had transformed one of the rear courtyards of his building into a pink and white room. the street was jazzed up with lights making red and blue outlines of the branches and js himself was in a gorgeous shirt that only he can carry off with flair. shyam dressed up as santa and never had it so good with everyone vying for his attention. the food was fabulous as it was to be expected.
