Oakley Is Dorothy!

Oakley has been fascinated with the Wizard of Oz story for a couple of months now. It started one evening when Jason told her the story of Dorothy and friends before bed. It has all the elements of a perfect story...good witches, bad witches, natural disasters, flying monkeys, and a cute dog. We played Wizard of Oz every day for weeks. Jason put the music on our Ipods and Opa printed pictures. Finally last week we rented the movie. It was everything Oakley could have hoped for and more. Today her Dorothy Halloween costume arrived. It was difficult to get the dress off of her for bed tonight!


More and more people are coming forward with predictions as to whether our baby is a girl or boy and when I will have it. Today Oakley and I were downtown with Neanners and Opa. A woman claimed she could definitively tell me whether it was a boy or girl. I took her up on the offer. She dangled a needle by a thread over the inside of my wrist. Supposedly the needle begins to move in circles if it is a girl and straight lines if it is a boy. My needle very clearly moved in a large circle. This woman claims she has been wrong only twice out of 70 or so predictions. We'll see! Only 5 more weeks to go.
