thanks and lasers

Thank you Kristi, Mom, Sonya, Marla and Jessica for replying to my last post.  I appreciate your thoughts and words of encouragement so so much.  I have a lot of respect for each of you, so thank you again for taking the time to chime in.  Anyone else?  I'd still love to hear what any of you have to say, whenever you have time. I know of quite a few people that have been reading this blog and have yet to comment on it.  Don't be shy, I LOVE reading your comments, so please comment!  It feels too narcissistic to put out a blog and not take in comments.  Those of you that have been commenting, thank you and keep it up!  Like I said, I love hearing from you!  

Last night Gabe and I spent $10 on a laser pointer.  For Daly.  For us, really.  I have to say, I wasn't sure this purchase was worth the 10 hard earned dollars, but now I'm certain we've never made a wiser investment.  That red dot zipping across the floor and up the walls has rocked Daly's little world.  Not only is he getting oodles of exercise, but I'm pretty sure his brain has never been so stimulated.  His mind is blown people and it's friggin' hilarious to watch.  So everyone wins: Target got $10, Daly's world is rocked, and Gabe and I are endlessly entertained.  We're simple folk.

The laser pointer sounds like a blast. I love your blog! Keep writing. I especially love your insights on teaching. My dream was to be a college professor but since I have yet to graduate college...well...ummm....probably not going to happen. Sigh. So, I am always interested in learning from my friends who teach and living vicariously through them. ;)
