"That shirt just yells Four"


Ian wanted a shirt that announced he was four. He requested (demanded) a rice crispy treat for breakfast. He got a four-year-old haircut from a salon yesterday.

I reject doing a top ten list of things I like about Ian, because it is tough to find faults with your kids and if I did, it would reflect more on our parenting than anything else I suspect...

So, this is my top ten list of Ian traits in the year 2016 (he'll be 14 for all you math-challenged folks...)
  1. Mel and I will be on a first name basis with his principal.
  2. He will be the class clown.
  3. He'll be playing soccer, baseball and indoor soccer.
  4. The darn phone will not stop ringing with Ian calls...
  5. He won't miss his sister away at London School of Economics...yeah he will.
  6. He'll no longer give me kisses or special hugs.
  7. ok, I'll end here, this is just too darn depressing...
Here's to a year filled with little or no waiting at the Emergency Room...

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
