If a picture is worth a thousand words,
then is Jack asking to be potty-trained?

Really?
I got this great new sling to tote Jason around in; it's called a Maya ring sling. After watching the informational dvd on how to use it, I finally figured out how to use it successfully. I was also warned by the dvd to never leave baby unattended in the sling. Thanks for the advice.

Uncool Me
While jogging with a friend yesterday, I asked her if she felt her kids made her feel older. She then posed the question "do you ever feel like your kids make you uncool?" Definitely.
Here's an ever-growing list of how my cool factor plummetted once I became a parent:
1.) I used to love cruising in my red Mustang, with the radio blaring. Now I drive a Camry, with the music turned down so as to not bother the kids. When I go out by myself and have the choice to drive the Mustang, I opt for the Camry since it's higher off the ground and has better shocks. Lame I know.
2.) It took me months to know who Lady Gaga was. Enough said.
3.) I'm excited to go to bed at 10pm, and ecstatic if I sleep through until 6am. Sleeping in for me is going until 8am, and that is really exciting!
4.) More on #3- I used to think it was torture to wake up at 8am. Sigh.
5.) I complain about big crowds and annoying teenagers at the movie theater.
6.) To get my exercise, I generally opt to walk over run, because my knees bother me.
7.) In college I thought myself to be an intellectual, immersing myself in literature and the history of ancient civilizations. Today, my biggest concern is getting my 2 boys to nap at the same time.
8.) A trip to the grocery store alone is a chance to enjoy myself.
9.) I drive the speed limit, most of the time.
10.) I get excited when P&G coupons arrive in the mail.
There you have it. If you still want to be my friend after reading that list, feel free to commiserate and share how your kids make you uncool.

A quick update
What have we been up to lately? Here's some footage...
We've shot some hoops...
We've played hair stylist:
We've slid down really tall inflatable slides:
We've enjoyed some brotherly cuddles:
We're bonding more and more everyday:
