Percolating

I have found an interesting idea for a blog post but this one actually includes links and/or backup.  I'm working on it.

The bigger news is that the idea has inspired an intriguing sub-plot for the current WIP so I'm very excited!

With the new baby (and additional laundry), increased extra-curricular activities and playdates and this lovely spring weather, I am thrilled to finally be excited about research and writing again!  

A new thought or fact has bubbled up each day.  I'm not sure how the whole thing will turn out yet but it smells delicious.

Cliché

We bought the exersaucer with all sorts of toys, sounds, textures, etc.

In true baby fashion, he was much more interested in the box than the actual toy.  He is too young to really play with the box but he was fascinated with the baby girl pictured on the box!  

The box went out with the recycling yesterday however, so now he is stuck with an overwhelming amount of toys.  He's currently chewing on his spit rag.

Mama said there would be days like this

Are you curious as to how things are going here on those days that I just can't seem to post?

Go here. Yep.  It's like that.

New car

When there are no friends in the car, everyone can sit without touching another person!  

I can tote as many children as will fit and still not lose cargo space!

Everyone can get out of the car without doing front-flips over other seats.

I have a sensor that lets me know if something or someone is behind the car when it's in reverse; I can make the backseat colder or warmer than the front; I am sitting higher and can see more of the world around me while I am driving.

I cannot see a lunchbox left in the backseat for the duration of the school day.
