A couple thoughts - Updated

1.  Just because you suggest certain clothes for James, does not mean he will take that suggestion to heart.

2. I never liked doing hand motions to songs, even when I was a kid.  James loves it, though... and so do some parents.  Not liking hand motions for songs made working at camp tough some times.

3. Thomas is still asleep.  He's been asleep for probably all but two hours or so since he got up this morning. He'll probably be bouncing off the walls later on.  Watch out, world.

4. Talked to another stay-at-home dad at the library today.  He's been doing it for four years.  He's a recovering lawyer, he says, who most recently worked publishing board games and worked for Wizards of the Coast (http://company.wizards.com/).  They published one of my favorite games, Betrayal at House on the Hill (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/prod/houseonthehill).  Needless to say, we had plenty to talk about.

5.  It's Friday.  I've nearly survived a whole (short) week with the boys.  I just might be able to do this the whole summer without going completely batty... but I'll probably have songs like this stuck in my head most of the time.

Update:
6.  The phrase "look out, world" that I wrote earlier sent my mind to the lyrics, "Watch out boys, she'll chew you up."  So I guess it won't be all children's songs stuck in my head.  It'll be children's songs and songs from the 80s.

  1. Oh I love Batty Batty Bat 1-2-3.

    It will now be the earworm of the day! *dances*

  2. One of these years, you'll watch Lindsey, Matt, Molly, and I do a skit/dance of that song. It'll be awful... awfully awesome.

  4. I mean doing it with costumes. Maybe at a family reunion or the like.
