I'm with ChiKat on that one. How could anyone forget Robin?
Her old spark is finally back.
I have felt much better for some time, but I don't seem to have the stamina I did before all this started. Tell her not to expect too much of herself.
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay for Robin and Robin's mom!
Happy Birthday, ita!
You guys mentioned all the good kids' books. Any and all of them are great, and still fun to read, either to a littlie, or just as a guilty pleasure for oneself.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay for your mom, Robin! That old flame must have just blocked it out, so he would be able to move on.
OOH! FROG AND TOAD ARE FRIENDS!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Has anyone mentioned Moon Stars Frogs and Friends? (this is how our story ends...)

I love Little Gorilla [link] I also bought the baby faces book for my niece.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yes: steal him and see to it that he's raised among people who regard reading as a good thing.
Oh she loves reading to him. They just had several horrendous house repairs including $900 for a new boiler, (and the basement flooded) so anything that isn't food, shelter, diapers, and gerber sweet potatoes is an extravagance.
So the books and the Superman costumes are up to Auntie, and Grammie buys the Osh Kosh overalls.

I also bought this FRIGGING ADORABLE Hello Kitty baby book [link] I may have to buy a copy for myself, it's so cute.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
One of the professors DH works with was on vacation on Phuket with the tsunami struck. Since he's a doctor and public health specialist, he pitched in and did what he could. His account is here: [link]

I got him Goodnight Moon
A few years ago a colleague and I developed a treatment program for helping parents to get their kids to go to sleep at night. Part of the program was an individualized book that we created for each kid, in which the kid was the protagonist and the family sleep routine (snack, brush teeth, etc.) was part of the story. The other book that we gave to every family was Goodnight Moon. For many low-income families these were the first two books that the kid ever owned, and it was painful to see how excited the kids were to have them. On the other hand, these kids could truthfully point out that half of the books that they owned had been written about them.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I absolutely love all of the children's book suggestions.
So is it a bad sign that I just got great glee going through my new 2005 calendar and marking all of the days I'm not working until school gets out in late June?
