"Dad, do you get me?" --Ian


Last night, we went to a special church service where Reagan and Mel sang in the choir (ask me about Mel's singing sometime when she is not around). Ian and I sat in the front row, all by ourselves, Ians choice.

So we are part way into the singing service when Ian asks me, "Dad, do you get me?". At this point in my life, I am preparing for Reagan to be asking this question, but instead it comes from little Ian. He meant if I heard him say his stomach and head hurt him, but the larger question loomed long after he stopped waiting for answer. Do I get him?

Heck, i am not sure I even get me, much less him. I like to think I know him well. I know how to make him laugh, where he is ticklish, what makes him sad and how to scare him. But do I get him?

I think as long as you are still trying to find the answer, the answer is yes. It is when you stop trying that you don't get someone.

In other news, we found out Ian will have the same kindergarten teacher that Reagan did. This is great news as we loved this teacher and Ian already knows her. Hooray!

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....
