best friends

little 4 yr old brixton says "recockulous" and no one knows where he got it from. pretty funny.

he is my friend scot's son. robin, his partner, is probably my best friend here in olympia. she played in my band the other night and brixton came to watch but ended up really wanting to be in the band so we let him (without volume on whatever he was playing). scot was a good sport about holding up the bass for him, and he was the cutest bass player/keyboardist ever.

another cute thing about brixton is that he voluntarily told me he loved me, out of the blue. the same day i heard scot refer to his friend stevie as "unlce stevie" so i questioned when i would achieve auntie status. so we told brixton to call me "auntie" and he threw his head back in laughter. but only after a few suggestions, it worked and i am "auntie ruth."

i love when robin and scot laugh really hard. robin has a loud laugh when you really get her and scot always loses his breath.

scot is the weirdest awesome friend i've ever had. he is really adamant about being generous all the time, in a sort of extreme way. when you are his friend you know it for sure. he just set up my guitar to sound really sweet and i can play it a lot easier. now i can start my band, "lazer blade".

robin is also good at showing you that she appreciates your friendship. two of the friendliest people--i'm glad they are together. it is exciting. it is also nice because we all like hanging out and we all are substance free.

i had a baby shower for robin on sunday. i was nervous about it because my house is far out and it was rainy outside. also, i did not feel i had prepared as well as i would have liked to because that show we played was the night before and those things are always a big deal to me. but it ended up great. the activities i planned were a hit--with the favorite being a onesie decorating contest. leala won first place with her simple "eject" design that featured an eject button on the snap away (crotch) part of the shirt. humor reigns.

love the eject onesie. very funny.

i've been thinking about 4 yo activities and i was thinking you should also make instruments. You can use empty toilet paper rolls and put rice in them. Just put tissue paper or other light weight paper on the ends and secure with rubber bands.

You can also do beans in between two paper plates or paper bowls facing each other. Just staple around the edges to keep the beans between the plates.
