Motor skills

I've been meaning to knit something for the baby boy I love; something that would help him develop his motor skills and improve his dexterity. He is already very good at grabbing balls so this is just the thing. Hope he likes it.

The leaky tub valve gets fixed today and good thing it is because we haven't bathed in five days. We've showered though. The wrecked ceiling gets its final plaster coat and paint and then we can move all the stuff back in. Right now the liv/din room looks like one of those hole-in-the-wall furniture shops where you can't turn around in.

This could be the first Christmas ever that we don't have ANY snow. Fine by me. Beats the snot out of what we had to deal with last year.
