I'm really tired tonight. It's been a week of energy and productivity. Bennett's energy has been full to bursting. He's crawling around, pulling himself up and doing this "neat" trick of not really napping, passing out at his normal bedtime from exhaustion for about 45 minutes, then waking up to PLAY! WALK! CRAWL! JUMP! WHEE! Tonight Adam's on it. I sat around watching the beginning of Serenity whilst eating pita chips and hummus. And promptly felt guilty and cut off from my family.

On my Lenten vegan fast I'm discovering that this time around I don't miss cheese at all, but I do miss milk. I crave warm milky beverages.

It's nearly 10 so I think I'll put myself to sleep with Bennett. The one nice thing about putting B to bed multiple times a night is that I'm getting a lot of reading done, since I read him novels that I want to read. We're working through Nancy Farmer's The Land of Silver Apples right now.

Is soy milk an acceptable substitute?

No. I love soy milk in cereal but I don't like drinking soy at all.

Bugger, I love soy milk. Is there any other milk substitute that works for you? Rice milk? Hemp milk???

Nope, cow's milk has it's own special place in my palate/heart!

Yep, fair enough. Nothing is quite the same as cow's milk. :)

Good on for reading novels to B. That's going to be a super-literate kid.

I hope so! It's really a win-win situation for all.
