Keeghan was the first to fall, but I’m sure we can trace this back to preschool if we try.

Keeghan woke up feverish and glassy eyed yesterday. By bedtime, Ian also had a fever and a very charming runny nose. This morning, I have reached the fever plus runny nose stage. 007 has either escaped, or is due for his fever in approximately 12 hours. Wish us luck!

Tonight Keeghan proved he’s ready for the “big tub.” in evidence, I present to you my pants: wet to the knees. Also: one bathroom floor: flooded, and one big brother: impressed.

What with all the excitement about grown men in tiny, tiny cars around here, I forgot to share this with you on Monday.

Just one of those little moments that make all this such a beautiful adventure.

The first time we went, Keeghan didn’t know quite what to make of it. But today he was dancing in my lap, waving his arms, and trying to sing along.

You’ve just got to love a children’s performer who teaches your baby to love different musical genres… A sampling of acoustic blues, rap, folk songs, and original work sure beats the pants off your typical “kids’ music.”

Besides… If you want your baby to grow up to be a Blues Man, you gotta start him young.

I will demonstrate how I can make my brother hand me my bottle using only the power of my mind.

Also, I will take throwing things on the floor to the next level, and use the legs of my high chair to affect the bottle’s trajectory.

The only problem here…

Is that, since I didn’t expect these to live, based on the fact they were planted by Ian’s toy backhoe and tended by my notorious black thumb, I don’t know what any of them are.
