We should all go out and pick up a couple at used bookstores for you, Kat.
Also, the corpse flower sounds awesome and I haven't even looked at it yet.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Kat, I put a posting on freecycle. I'll let you know if I get any.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kat, I think the development stuff is fascinating. They become people. Their little brains are so unlike ours for so long, but they're growing and changing as you watch. I kinda don't believe in it, so I'm fascinated to read about it. Plus I like to read about what makes my friends happy.
I blanch at the thought of all the fundraising you have to do. I wouldn't even know where to start. Go msbelle with the freecycle.
I just found out something about google. If I google "south korea president" it tells me who the president of South Korea is (Lee Myung-Bak) before it gives me any search results. That's way cool. Don't ask why I found that out. I have too much time on my hands.
Off to read billytea's link.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There's a Uni textbook I half have my eye on, called "How Children Develop" [link] Looks fascinating, just, it's priced like a Uni textbook. Oh, there's also a DVD series called A Child's World (it seems to be out of production now). Only three episodes long, but it covers how a child develops a conception of identity, time, other people's awareness, all that kind of thing. It's excellent viewing.

Like today, Noah articulated a sequence of events, in chronological order that he remembered. His little brain is growing and developing and it thrills me because you can see all of that learning happening.
Eee! That is so cool! Isn't that just awesome to see unfold?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I love watching those moments of realization. Although in my case it's usually when I've accidentally shown a friend's child how to do something they really didn't need to know.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
50 in ONE PERIOD of AP. Yes. You read that right. 50 kids in one class.
Ho.Lee.Crap. You've got to be kidding me! Do you have a co-teacher? Couldn't they split them up into 2 sections?

aurelia - bwah! that has and will undoubtedly continue to happen with us and Noah.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

That is awesome! I do it for currency (try "155 cad to usd") and time (hong kong time) and weather.

It also works for measurement conversions like yards to metres. Well, probably meters. I love google.
I've been playing with yahoo and bing search in working on my sister's consultancy project, and I find google a good middle ground and less obtrusive with the ads than yahoo.
