Break's Over, Mom!

I have not been consistent with the bits recently, but this morning, Jonathan let me know that it's time to get with the program! When he woke up, he sat straight up, pointed at them and said, "This!" (More)

Counting Fingers

On Wednesday, Jonathan counted his fingers on his own initiative - he held each one and said, "one, two" "one, two" "one, two..." It was very cute.

Internet Searching

It seems that lots of people have trouble typing in keywords into search engines that result in the hits that they want. Every once in a while I have to go to the second page of results, but generally things are available on the first page. (More)

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

I have come to a new appreciation of that little spider. When I was a child I always thought it was a rather stupid creature not aware of its surroundings, just blindly walking into a place that was obviously not safe.

However, as I think about it now, I find that spider to be a model of perseverance, patience, sticking to its goals even through setback and hardship. What a difference a little life experience makes to my perspective!

Catch Up

With visitors and camping, I have not been as faithful in recording Jonathan's growth as I'd like. But here are some recent things. (More)

Identifying Bits

Jonathan likes to open the drawer where I store the Bits and take out some to look at. In order to make this an acceptable activity, I have put the retired ones in front and hidden the unseen ones in back, separated by empty file folders. This way, he is free to explore and look at, take out and put in, without messing up my organization. (More)

Incredibles

I was reminded of the Incredibles today by a slashdot article, and I went looking for the "Everyone's special, Dash." "That's just another way of saying nobody is." quote, and came across this guy's review of the movie. Interesting.

Fledglings

This morning when I went downstairs, I saw one of the baby robins out of the nest on the ledge! Later when I went by all three were in the nest. I knew it wouldn't be long. Just now I checked and the nest is empty! Now they will spend two weeks learning how to be grown up robins, and after that they will be on their own.

Music Meme

I had heard of memes before, hadn't paid much attention until Adrian Drury mentioned it a couple weeks ago on snurgle, and today I noticed a post on Oscar's blog inviting me to participate. (More)
