So there has been a flurry of activity at work recently, some visiting inlaws and and more things to do with the completion of the new house. In other words, real life getting in the way of this blog.

So the question of the day is - what do you do with a two year old that insists you carry him everywhere? Today my son was thrashing about on the floor because I wouldn’t pick him up. He thrashed for about 20 minutes. I went outside and sat in my hammock, and my wife stared in amusement. He was so committed to his thrashing that he didnt get up when I came back in - he lay there screaming as I walked right over him.

So we did what any normal set of parents would do - we bought him a 42″ plasma tv to watch Sesame Street on. Can’t start too early with the bribes, we are training him to be a politician.
