Bluebird of Testosterone: drug interactions

Last week The Boy spiked a fever one day (which subsided quickly), then woke up with headaches for the next two days. We gave him some kids' Tylenol and a small piece of chocolate -- small piece! -- for the caffeine boost. Then we tried to explain the caffeine/Tylenol combination.

Us: The caffeine in the chocolate will help make the Tylenol work faster. It takes a while to work because it has to travel through your body before it starts working on your headache.

The Boy: All the way through my body and through my penis?

I think a few lessons in how the digestive system works, with an addendum on medication absorption, is in order.

Bluebird of Testosterone, twofer edition

For those of you who are new to le blog, welcome! From time to time I post about visits from the Bluebird of Testosterone. This weekend was a bonanza -- what I can remember of it.

The Boy, after getting dressed to go to church: "I look good. But my leg hurts."

TwoBoo (who is toilet-training), after I went to the bathroom: "Good job, Mommy!"

Should get even better as TwoBoo's vocabulary grows...

New art in town

We've been waiting months for this grand opening!

TwoBoo, The Boy and I invited my neighbor and her little people to the opening of the new Schack Art Center. It's got like forty different kinds of awesome inside: a hot shop for glass blowing...

student and professional exhibit space...

and of course rooms for community art classes, which The Boy loves.

Even TwoBoo was willing to scribble a little...

when he wasn't daring me to turn my head while he was near the cookie table. I also invited my neighbor Christi, to help her get over the terror of caring for a two-year-old and a newborn alone, all day, for the first time.

She's still standing!

The Schack, as they're calling it, is the new home for the organization-formerly-known-as-the-Arts-Council-of-Snohomish-County and its various offerings.

I did try to look a little closer at the latest exhibit, "The Nature of Glass."

 

But I had to let some woman with a really shaky hand take all the photos. Plus TwoBoo wanted to dash off to play with the invitingly fragile glass balls, so it was a little hard for me her to get everything.
