Genius. Genius, I tell you

The Boy is showing an interest in "reading" on his own, and he seems to have an inkling on counting things (especially the number of M&Ms that we occasionally dole out). So we started him in a phonics class and then a math class at day care last week, and apparently he's really enjoying himself. Nothing hard-core: the kids his age only do 20 minutes a day in these optional classes, which is about the length of any other activity they do.
My favorite comment on his progress: "He also enjoyed writing in his journal!"

I'm kvelling!

Tagged? I don't see anything on my big toe

Catherine decided it was high time I got tagged again -- "because she is so funny I can hardly wait to read what she comes up with." I gotta come up with something good. Oh, the pressure...

Here are the rules:

1. Write the title to your own memoir using 6 words.

2. Post it on your blog.

3. Link to the person who tagged you.

4. Tag 5 more blogs.

Alrighty then. My memoir would start out with the title "High-Functioning?" You Must be Joking. But I think I'd change it to First Hundred Years: Always the Hardest.

Aaaack! I don't think I have the requisite number of blog friends who will play, but I think Tally and Laurel might be into it.

Thank you, Laurel!

Laurel, aka Rueschka, sent me a lil' thank you for turning her on to Google Reader. She'd been looking for an easier-to-use RSS feed reader that would send her the latest posts from her favorite blogs. So I threw in my two cents, and voila.

It's a little hard to see even in person, but she stamped a beautiful sun on the patterned paper.
I'm not exactly an early adopter of technology, but I caved and took The Husband's suggestion to try Google Reader. It was like the first time you surf the internets on your own. Whee!
Look at all the pretties Laurel sent. Including a charm with my favorite mermaid on it.
This may be the one time I gave advice and was rewarded for it.
