We have a set of little plastic animals, from alligator to zebra with stops at leopard, monkey, nuthatch, okapi, and penguin. Becca brought a bunch to go in Miriam's toy kit for the plane rides to and from Dallas for this past weekend's wedding. Miriam bangs them together, stands them up very neatly in a line, and watches while I make the giraffe gallop across the back of the seats and the koala climb up and down her arm and the iguana waddle along the tray table.

Yesterday's menu:
breakfast: Hyatt Summerfield Suites' cranberry muffins
lunch: bean burrito from DFW
dinner: chicken enchiladas at Casa Escobar
