Things about my life.
Xander made us dinner tonight. Kate bought us some small pizza crusts. We sat Xander down with a jar of pizza sauce, pepperoni, chopped black olives and cheese. We showed him how to spread the sauce out on the crust and then let him do that and then put the other toppings on. He’d ask [...]
Xander read his first word tonight. We were writing words on the shower wall as we often do in the evenings. I decided to put up a word he’d not asked for, so I wrote “HUG” on the wall. Then I pointed at each of the letters and he made the sound for them. Then [...]
Haven’t talked about my gaming in a while. ToEE was very disapointing. I gave up on it after a while. It was just too cumbersome to really be any fun for me. So yet another D&D video game bites the dust. Neverwinter Nights is still fun. I’m slowly working my way through Shadows when I [...]
So Xander wakes up this morning and is coming into our room to have morning snuggle time, which we do from time to time. While he’s laying in the bed talking with me, he hears Mira fussing. We decide to go get her up. Xander and I walk into the room and find Mira standing [...]
Xander had a wonderful 4th birthday today. We started out the morning with a nice breakfast of waffles and blueberries, two of his favorite things. He got his first present, a race track with some wind up cars that zoom around it, which he loved. We spent the morning cleaning for the party and watching [...]
No new Angel next year. No good thing goes on forever, I guess. At least they have a little bit of warning, so they might be able to tie things up in a way they like.
So we were watching the start of the Daytona 500 just now. The National Anthem was being sung and George W. Bush was in attendence to give the command to start engines. I was shocked to see that the President of the United States of America didn’t feel he needed to stand quietly with his [...]
For the past six days (from Saturday morning through Thursday morning), Xander made it through the night dry. We’re very proud of him. He woke up wet this morning, but I think that’s a pretty good record for an almost 4 year old who is still working on the whole process here.
So Xander spent most of the last 28 hours asleep in his room. If that won’t help you feel better, nothing will! He’s up not and hungry, so that’s a great sign. He does have a sinus infection (the test came back from the doctor’s office), so he went on antibiotics today. But that seems [...]
We’ve got a sick kid again. Xander has a nasty little “vomiting virus” as the doctor called it. They actually have several nurses out with it, so it is going around. The up side it that is usually clears up in about a day, so here is hoping. Poor Xander is miserable. He can’t even [...]
So I helped judge a science fair at a local high school today. It was quite an interesting experience. The first place prize was pretty easy to pick out. Second and third could have really gone either way, but I think we did the right thing on them. It was kinda fun to go through [...]
Today was the day that the dads get to join the kids at school for an hour or so at Xander’s school. So I got to hang around with him till around 10am while he showed me the work he does. I was amazed watching him putting the state puzzle together. He knows where the [...]
UbiSoft announced today that it is working on a sequel to Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Woo hoo!
