Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's much better than the previous power cord, which came unplugged with a lot of difficulty, deforming itself in the process. It's why I'm on my second MacBook, primarily.
Hmm. I *did* go through 3 power cords in 6 years with the iBook. And when I first read about MagSafe, I thought the idea was excellent. But in practice it just seems like it wants to detach really easily. Although I have no comparator; maybe it comes off exactly as easily as it's supposed to.
The detach is a good thing in my house, stupid battery or not. I keep the laptop on a tv table, which I could not do with the old kind. I'd much rather the computer power down than crash to the floor. (Old one lived on the dining table, a much more secure location. And even then, had some near-misses thanks to flying cats.)
Last night Dylan told us he doesn't want Aeryn in his room any more, and it's not their room to share it's HIS ROOM ALONE. This morning he told me he wants to be a baby again, and no amount of "but big kids can [insert awesome things like eating and riding bikes here]!" could convince him otherwise.
I know this is a phase and will pass, but in the meantime he just seems so SAD about the whole thing. (When I told him I couldn't make him a baby again, he said "YES YOU CAN MOMMY I BELIEVE IN YOU!" The magical thinking is strong at this age.) Parents who've done this age already, how do you answer something like that?
I always liked the detach, too.
We were on the eleven o'clock news last night. This is so far out of my comfort zone, I can't even tell you.
eta: Oh, that's a heartbreaker, Jessica. Do you think sitting down with him somewhere special (ice cream?) without his sister around and telling him how happy you are that he's the age he is would help?
The NYT has a medical diagnosis contest column. I love that Lupus was one of the first suggestions, then quickly discounted.

That's more or less what I did in the 15 minutes I had before I left for work this morning (sans ice cream). It didn't seem to help much.
When I left, he was asking to watch videos of him when he was a baby. (Actually, he wanted a video of Baby Dylan *with* Baby Aeryn, which I tried to explain was impossible, but I don't think he believed me.) It's the preschool equivalent of "I Wish I Could Go Back To College."

It's never lupus.
Pfft. You're a video editor. Of course it's possible.
We had a LOT of looking at pictures of Casper when she was a baby, and even "playing baby," that first year. They both seem kinda silly, but both really helped a lot with those feelings. It's hard to be big.
