That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

I'll probably do that, now that I've beaten back the tide enough that MY mailbox isn't being flooded with error messages (those I can delete easily!) They hate us having this mailbox, so every time we mention it, they try to get it killed.

Baby update!

Dylan enjoyed his first vacation quite a bit even though he did NOT enjoy the parts of the train ride where he was strapped into the Ergo carrier (which we have since started calling the Portable Baby Cage). Can't blame him, really -- I don't like wearing it while sitting down either, but as an adult I'm not allowed to express my discomfort by screaming and wailing. Life's unfair.

This morning, Dylan shared his first shriek (that noise that babies make when they've been babbling for a while and suddenly realise that they're the one making those sounds!!!), and also rolled over from his stomach to his back, AND is right this very minute experiencing the first day of transitioning into daycare with his Daddy. It's a big week in Babyland!

Happy Birthdays, Lee and Board!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, is that the first unpleasant milestone?

Heh - it's still kind of cute right now, but I can see it getting old reeeeeeeeeal fast. Good thing he's going into daycare!

Thank you all for your support as I figured out how to work with balloons and a song that could potentially be in a language I don't speak (it ended up being the English version so phew).

I got a huge, huge ass basket of prizes from merchants in the neighborhood. And, yet, I still have to work for a living. sheesh.

....do you take that seriously? Or figure they're downplaying it (if they're willing to say moderate, it must be high)? Or is it a joke?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies Lee!!!
