I guess that is what happens after a bank robbery

So the day after Keira declared her intention to rob a bank, we passed a friend of ours and his guide dog. Keira has spent a lot of time with our friend so I feel pretty comfortable answering her questions about blindness and disability, knowing that she has seen our friend at work and play. This time were talking about the role of our 5 senses and how we can rely on others if one is not available, such as touch. Then she said, "Like if I were blind and in a prison cell, I could feel around and feel the cold hard walls and know I was in prison. But i would have a knife and I would slip the knife to my dog and he would open the door." Really, where does she get these things??!!

Today Keira and I had an epic day. We went to pOint pLeasant park to enjoy the little bit of snow that had fallen. In our explorations, we went over country and discovered a secret (magic?) tree, decorated with painted sea urchin chells, and a seaweed star. Then onto the Shake Rattle and Read library program and lunch at Heather's work. then we went to the Dal Music department's noontime recital which was voice. Keira loved the opera (I was a little worried) and then we explored the Dal Art Gallery. After we picked up Jason we went to see Sue the big T Rex at the Museum of Natural History. To top the day off, keira cleared the table and cleaned her whole room up by herself.
