today was randall's birthday -- i've been calling it his barkday -- and to celebrate, i took him across the bridge to sushi ran. we pigged out, at least we were going to. actually we were pretty good, i let birthday boy call the shots, if it had been me we'd have eaten at least one more roll. probably two.
for his birthday i decided to get randall a copy of piero ventura's book of cities. it's an old children's book from 1975, that they recently reprinted. i took one look at it and knew that randall would love it. okay actually i saw a tiny one inch thumbnail in a magazine and knew he would love it. he's into intricate little line drawings, and well we both have a thing for kid's books.
ps. yes, that card on the table is of a dog wearing a birthday hat and driving a car. that is more or less randall's idea of awesome. (when i asked whether or not that statement was true, randall said it would only be awesomer if the dog said he was moving in and also if he could make great lattes).
pps. juju and wes got randall a pretty amazing gift courtesy of the ivory weirdo.
