There has been a lot of construction around the house and, as a result, the measuring tape has been in use a lot lately. Xander finds this device absolutely fascinating. We get it out, extend it, have intense discussions about it, reposition it, discuss more, and then it magically retracts with a snap! A truly enchanting device that no child could resist. As Xander seems somehow unable to get out the second syllable of meas-ure, he has dubbed it The Meas. Anyway, no matter where we put the thing, eagle eye manages to spy it and starts a litany of meas meas meas meas. The resulting antics I'm sure would be hilarious to an outside viewer. We proceed to pull out the measuring tape and go around measuring all sorts of things in the house for Xander's edification. I can probably recite to you the dimensions of counter tops, doors, windows, sofas, and toys at this point with out even having to measure them but that, of course, is beside the point. Fortunately he doesn't yet want it to go to sleep with him. I'm standing firm there, you have to the draw the line somewhere, if only I could find that darn measuring tape. Xander....
