Another Monday with Kouryou-chan

elfsWell, after driving Omaha to her last day on her radio show (she's quitting to concentrate more on the business side; she likes production, but she can't do both), I headed home with a sleeping Kouryou-chan in her carseat. When we reached the house, she was still asleep 
Sleepy Kouryou-chan. and I couldn't wake her, but I also shouldn't let her sleep long when it's only a few hours until bedtime. So I left her on the uncomfortable floor rather than put her on the couch, and turned on NPR News. I cooked the usual, ravioli & sauce, and managed to get her roused enough so that while dinner was prepping she could go downstairs and play a new computer game she'd acquired, some Hamtaro video game.
We ate dinner upstairs together, and then huddled downstairs with ice cream cones and just enough time to watch one episode of My Life as a Teenage Robot. This time it was the episode "Tradeshow Showdown", complete with The Cluster Queen's first appearance. A good episode, all things considered. I made the mistake of blindly deleting another episode pair when I saw the first episode was "See No Evil"; unfortunately, the other episode in that block was "The Great Unwashed," which was one I wanted to see again. Oh, well. How come nobody's torrenting those?
Kouryou-chan got into the bathtub without a complaint. While she was finishing up brushing her teeth, she puffed her cheeks out. I pointed to a green plastic bathtoy lined up on the rim of the tub and said, "You're almost as cute as Frog."
"Dad," she said in an exasperated voice. "Frog is only a little cute. I'm a lot cute."
One must be cautious in what one repeats to a child, indeed. We read books (more Hamtaro... ugh! But she reads it, which is the point) and she was pretty good about getting to bed, just as Omaha got home.
