I'm a very task- or activity-oriented parent with Benjamin (as I am with many things in life). I enjoy watching him splash with joy in the bathtub or making him giggle during diaper changes, but I have a harder time figuring out what to do with free play. So I frequently turn to reading. It was much easier when he was younger (in the photos below) and didn't grab everything. I used to really enjoy reading "Harold and the Purple Crayon" to him, and he seemed to really enjoy studying the simple line drawings. Unfortunately "Harold" is now on hiatus since Benji has entered his paper-eating and paper-crumpling phase and I've switched to all board books. So for the foreseeable future I'll be reading Benji lots of "Goodnight Moon" and his new Easter board books while Matthew reads Entertainment Weekly (good pages to crumple). But continue to read we shall.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
