N's Johnny Song
N has a Johnny song some of you may have heard:
(he wrote it himself)
Johnny went in the woods
Johnny went in the woods
Johnny saw a dragon
Johnny saw a dragon
Yay Johnny
(second verse)
Johnny went in the woods
Johnny went in the woods
Johnny took out the dragon
Johnny took out the dragon
Yay Johnny
well this morning he invented a new verse
which is between the other verses
Johnny went in the woods
Johnny went in the woods
and the Dragon said
'Oh shit!"
I have a penchant for quoting LOTR each day, and on one particularly rough kiddie day,
I told Nikirj "Osgiliath is overrun."
It is an appropriate metaphor for our life here!

The Rainbow cometh!
When Paul and I decided we would be moving to Washington, we sat Graham down and asked her what she thought. She didn't think much of having "some volcano spitting rocks at me!" so we told her that if we moved, we would buy the kids a Rainbow. Finally, we've been able to do just that.
They knew we bought it, but thought that the unit would be delivered the day after we knew it would be. I really would rather not have spent the day saying "no it's not here yet."

When Your Baby was Born....
What was the first thing you noticed?
For me,
~G~: her ass. I had a hospital / epidural birth and didn't feel her come out. I saw her floating in the air in front of me as they pulled her out. I say floating because all I saw was HER; her impossibly red, impossibly tiny little butt.
~N~: How fat he was. He had enough chub coming out that he looked like DD at one month old. He was also a precipitous labor so he had horrible skid marks on his face.
~D~: HWB. First thing I noticed was his hair. We were underwater, I felt the ring of fire, and I reached.... to this day it is like a [pleasant] scar-memory. I can recollect at will the exact feel of his head crowning; how soft his hair was, how warm his head. Just that little piece of baby in my hand.
