Bitstrips

Thanks to BoingBoing for pointing me to Bitstrips.  Frickin' fun.  That's all I can say.

My first effort.  Weak, yes, and completely an inside joke, but fun to make.

Memories...

I was sorting through some of the books from my grandparents' attic and I came up with a few treasures. Here are a couple blasts from the past.

Killian Earns His "Tractor"

So, I've broadcast my excitement over the event and now here are some pics of Killian relishing in the spoils. With the completion of his potty training, he earned himself a battery powered Yamaha Rhino - deemed by him, his "tractor" because the next door neighbor's kid has a John Deer similar vehicle. He was quite thrilled and managed to deplete the battery twice on his first day. The pictures are of relatively low quality taken by a cell phone. Beware as he buzzes around the cul de sac at a speed of 5 mph! That's right, we took off the speed restrictor. Madness!

Goodreads

I was introduced to a pretty cool site today, Goodreads. The link to my page on the site is here. Pop on, join up and add me to your friends list there. Basically it is a site to track books that you've read, books you plan to read and share ratings and recommendations with friends.

Celebrate Good Times, Come On

Ok, this will be of interest to only those who are parents or grandparents, but Killian pulled off his first full day of no diaper (not counting overnight pull-ups) and clean "big boy underwear" for the entire day with no bathroom prompting by a parent on Saturday. Every time he went, it was his decision that he needed to go. It was awesome! I didn't have to change a single diaper or a set of clothing! I think he's actually got the plan down now... finally! So, happy times here. As a bonus, if he keeps it up, he'll likely get the tractor or truck (battery powered and kid size) that he missed out on at Christmas this week. Woohoo!
