Easy Rider

The guilt of Magooly not knowing how to ride a bike finally got to Jeff. He caved and bought him a bike. Now, Wild Thing 1's birthday is in the winter. Christmas is in the winter. These gift giving seasons just don't work out for this guy if he wants outdoor toys. What's a kid got to do to get a bike around here? Just be this stinkin' cute I guess.

My current obsession

Raising Cain, The Emotional Lives of Boys. Read it, just do it. It's only 258 pages long and it will change how you view and interact with boys. If you have a boy in your life, whether you're a parent, teacher, mentor or friend, you need to read this.
"...But as their manuscript progressed, Kindlon and Thompson realized a simple "how-to" would not do. "In the end," they write, "we found that the best advice we had to offer was simply to understand boys as they truly are ­ rather than as they appear or as we wish them to be. Our deepest wish is to pull aside the curtain boys so tenaciously draw around themselves and offer you a look inside their hearts and minds. If we succeed, we hope that you will see more clearly the ways in which our culture conspires to limit and undermine their emotional lives. We hope you will understand boys better, and above all, we hope you will enjoy them more"
