See my new icon? I made that. I also made one of the picture of Dom standing behind Orli hugging him and all that stuff. Yay! Cuteness. Squee worthy cuteness even.

Took Alex to Temple with me last night. She played in the kids room with all the other kids. The main child care person last night was a 16ish year old boy. Scarily enough, I knew him when he was 7 or 8. My best friend lived next door to them (he has a younger brother) and was often their babysitter. Sometimes I came along for the fun. It's very very strange to see the boys now, all tall and manly. They're good boys, very kind, polite, and thoughtful. It was just weird to see them after so many years, when I last saw them they were still kids. Now they are almost grown-up.

Alex also made a new friend last night. There was a boy, about 3 years old (I've talked to his dad a bit in my class on Wednesday). She chased the little boy around and played with him a bit (quite a big deal for toddlers). Apparently, according to the babysitters anyway, she kept trying to give him kisses. Looks like my daughter is going for older men now. ;) I can't say as I blame her though... he is an adorable kid.
