[R] Wow! And I don't even have a cell phone...

And yet, I am BLOGGING! I would add a picture to the blog, but, alas, our family digital camera is in Beijing at the moment. It is a sad state of affairs when one envies the family camera.

I'm feeling a bit of pressure that I don't feel in emails -- you know, to be witty and make sure my grammar is correct. I guess if we're going to become famous with the blog, I should just get over it.

One thing I think is blog worthy is my super idea for the TODDLER OLYMPICS. I got the idea the other day while at Adele's gymnastics class when a fellow audience member-toddler threw a fit. I was thinking (as the ever competetive parent), "Oh, that is NOTHING, my dearest Elsa could throw a much louder and longer tantrum than THAT." Thus, the idea for Toddler Olympics was born. So, some events:

Food throwing (obviously)
Marathon tantrum

Hmm, well, the categories would all have to involve either food or endurance tantrums, I guess.

Ok, I'm off to frost the cut-out cookies I made with the girls this morning. I'm not sure I have it in me to frost them while they are awake -- it would just turn into them stuffing frosting into their mouths every time I turned around.

Toddler Olympics:

-sibling splashing (preferably when one's sibling is not expecting it and will marathon tantrum when splashed... perhaps sibling splashing and marathon tantrum could be held as a sibling biathlon?)

-bookshelf clearing
also, CD clearing, though this one will soon be obsolete -- note that LP album clearing has been missing from the T.O's since 1982

-wall coloring

-jumping off too-tall-things (also referred to as the mom-heart-stopping category)
