Aww, thanks y'all. I need to keep in mind that they are just kids. Anyway today we had to go up to my son's school and found out who his teacher will be in 5th grade. He has the same teacher Franny had for 5th, and one of his best friends is in the class. Should be a good year for him. And we got Franny's schedule. It looks good too. We dodged the one really not good teacher that I was worried about.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm horrible, but I'm picturing sj with one of those plastic turkey timers, and we're waiting for the little red bit to pop up so they can say "Right! Time to take it out of the oven!"
Ryan asked me just last week how we knew he was ready to come out when he was still in his mummy's tummy. This is exactly what I told him happened. He seemed sceptical.

Coursera has sent me a list of recommended courses. One of them is Child Nutrition and Cooking. I don't know why they're so insistent that I should want to cook Ryan.
The University of Virginia is offering The Age of Jefferson. (272 last April. I'm not really sure there's a lot to be covered there.)

I expect his nutrition value will be in section one.
I'm working on developing Coursera courses now for a local university. It's kinda fun.

He's certainly got the wriggling part down pat.
Anyway, whenever I try to nom on him, he always tells me, "You can't eat me! I have bones!" He's got me there. My boy the vertebrate.

Nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bah -- I just got roped into a 9am meeting on a day I was planning to take off! Maybe I can do the call from home and still have the rest of the day. Stupid leaving boss.
