Updates at last



I've had some requests for updates. Mainly from Carly, but that's cool.

We had preschool conferences a few weeks ago. Carly's teachers described her as a "social director." They also mentioned that she's the kind of kid that "would be fun at a party." As a parent of a 3 year-old, I thought that was sort of cute. Later that night, when I thought about what that meant for Carly's future, I had a panic attack.

Teddy is fascinated with putting things in containers and using utensils. As Carly mentioned to Nana on Thanksgiving, we are used to the boys in our house (Greg, Sully) being very messy, so this gives me hope that he will join the Clean Team (I'm president). He is a terrible eater, but just plop a tomato wedge on a fork and he will flash his million dollar smile and throw it down the hatch. His obsession with the trash can, while fun at first, has completely lost it's entertainment value. I'm fairly certain we've lost a toothbrush, a few packages of instant oatmeal, and at least one book to it. And Teddy, I hope you are listening, this does not help your candidacy for the Clean Team.

Sully continues to be an overly-energized pain in the ass.
