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?

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
I found this and it looks PERFECT!
I think we got Chicka Chicka Boom Boom for Joss' sprog.
For many low-income families these were the first two books that the kid ever owned
This is why I love First Book. Tis what they do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What is more fun than buying kids books? Nothing, is what I say. I was freaking out before Christmas trying to decide between an Enclyclopedia Brown anthology or The Day My Butt Went Psycho for my little cousin. I picked the butt one.

WROD! I have to try to stay out of book stores else I'll go nuts. I just ordered some more for O from Amazon and we like the used bookstores for books but I think the board books get more biting than your usual kids' books so they don't wear so well the second time around.
I will say that these rattle books are AWESOME to take along in the stroller and store. It can keep O wrapped up long enough for me to get my shopping done.

How cute for an auntie!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I once bought a book for a book drive pointed toward middle school students. They'd particularly asked for books with a non-European setting, so I found one that looked interesting that was set in, er, well, Aztec society...
...you can see where this is going, can't you?
In my defense, I did not know when I bought it that the last scene was the narrator having his heart cut out. But, hey, I donated it anyway. I would've loved watching a narrator get his heart cut out when I was that age.
ETA: And it was YA! I swear!
