And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit. - The Tick
I don't know exactly when the brain damage occurred, but Adam ain't right. Today, at the gym daycare, he went out to their little outside climbing toy, crawled underneath it, and stripped. Diaper too. When the staff asked him what he was doing, he replied, "It's okay."
I know we've gone dark 'round here for a while. We've been busy... or something. I'll post a few things over the next week or so detailing some of our recent and semi-recent activities.
In the meantime, bask in the greatness that is RedLetterMedia's YouTube Channel. They specialize in epic reviews of sci-fi movies, especially Star Trek and the Star Wars prequels. Head on over some time and poke around. You'll need sound, of course. Also, they use naughty words, so do not watch them at work - unless you've got a sweet job where your boss and your co-workers are okay with that sort of thing, you know, like the local shipyard, the set of a Quentin Tarantino movie, or a Jesuit university.
In particular, I would like to recommend their 7-part review of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and their 9-part (that's right, 9 parts - I told you they were epic) review of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.
For a while, Adam could care less about driving his toys in the dirt.... but that recently changed. We have had more time in the dirt playing in the last 3 weeks than in the previous 6 months combined. And more showers, baths, and clothes to wash, also! I had to weed the flower bed the other day to provide him with space to run his trucks - it had gotten too overgrown for them to really dig down in and get dirty and mucky!
It's all happening at the zoo - here is Adam wearing my hat on a recent expedition to our local zoo. We were watching the Lemurs and snacking. Snacking is a big part of any zoo trip. See the monkeys, get raisins. See the hippo, get a pickle. See the tiger, get cheese. And so on....
Adam's new favorite when we go to Sam's Club is the Caesar Salad - in part because it has croutons, and also because he can share with either Ted or me, and get salad dressing for dipping. He is willing to negotiate and eat some lettuce in exchange for croutons. Crazy boy!
Adam recently has been enjoying Monsters, Inc. The adventures of Sully, Mike, and Boo amuse him greatly, and he's a sucker for a sight gag. We don't have a portable DVD player - not yet, anyway - so his movie watching is confined to the house, mostly right before his afternoon nap. But we have an iPod for music in the car.
Yesterday, on the way to the gym in the morning, Adam informed me, "If we had another iPod, we could bring the Monsters wiff us."
