This morning my daughter wished me a "blasting of days!" and then grabbed my son's hand to jump off the stoop and roll around in the grass. I'm not really sure what a "blasting of days" is, but it seems fun and I hope you have one too.

I use my fingers to count.
Please stop shaming kids and adults for using their fingers.
