Day Five of The Adam Obsession

So it's happened. Our little girl has her first full-blown crush. It's on Laurie Berkner's bass player, Adam (he's in the second photo). Adam wears a green shirt in one of the photos in the liner notes for their newest CD. Darcy has worn green shirts the last two days. Today, she carried around the liner notes almost all day. She held conversations with Adam. As in: "Let's play in the tent, Adam." "That sounds fun. I'll try it." She turned the pages in the liner notes and pointed to each picture: "This is the picture of Adam where he wears his green shirt like Darcy's." "This is the picture where Adam says whoa."

She runs on grass whenever she's near it because Adam says something about running on the green grass on the CD. When we were at Kelso Depot the other day with our friends Amy, Matthew, and Miles, she kept asking the "boys" to run on the grass with her -- like Adam.

Today, I convinced her to do several things by invoking Adam. She wore jeans because that's what Adam wears in his pictures. She put shoes on to go outside because Adam wears shoes. She walked to meet Michael on the dirt road because Adam runs on the sandy beach and our road is made of sand, too.

Our poor bookmobile driver/assistant had his every move monitored and narrated because he's a "boy" and everything that boys do these days is fascinating.
