A day at the office!

My wife is away with the Woman's Fellowship, so Jeremy got to come to
the office with daddy. It started off great, but escalated. He woke up
too early because he was poopy, so he started off tired. I also had to
print a thousand pages for my wife. Jeremy took that time to explore
every cabinet and shelf. He played with everything that weighs less
than 17 lbs. (He only weighs 24 lbs). Then we went to my office
upstairs where he took everything off every shelf - I am excited that
he wants to read my Grasping God's Word book... I think that kids,
especially mine - get bored too easy. Of course, most adults that I
know don't get bored quick enough. Anyway the picture is of Jeremy
trying to escape his time out chair. He got his head stuck. He tried
backwards, forwards, sideways, and any other combination to slither
that wire frame out of that high chair. Good thing his big head kept
him honest.

Learning yardwork

It is interesting that Jeremy's first real yard work experience was
not with his daddy who used to work in lawn maintenance, but rather
was with his mommy who doesn't sweat-she glistens?... Is there a rule
that says who has to teach what to children? Will my child be less
prepared for the future if mommy teaches him to garden or if daddy
teaches him to clean or cook? Will this affect him the same way not
having triangle crayons will? Why are we afraid that the tried and
true methods of history will suddenly not work with OUR kids? I am all
about the advancement of science and education, but are we advancing
or keeping up with the Jones'?

Who are the Jones', and why do they have so much stuff?
