I’m a Little Preoccupied

Little Finn has decided that today is the day that he wants to get serious about this walking thing. He’s really just doing what they call “cruising,” but he wants to move on to the next step. This means that I have to serve as his spotter. If I try to do anything else I am quickly reminded that we’re working on a project and I need to get with the program. It’s pretty fun, but not conducive to blogging. I guess he’s a bit of a late walker, but he combines tremendous will-power and determination with a basic sense of caution. As a parent, I prefer that to recklessness or lack of drive. Anyway, he’s trying to close my laptop and do this walking thing again, so I gotta go.

Let me know if anything happens with the government shutdown. I’m having flashbacks to sixteen years ago. What were you doing sixteen years ago?
