At first I thought this was a picture of Rainor's recent incident with Vicks Vapor Rub, but on closer examination he was just stomping around in a few rain puddles--at 15 months, life is full of new discoveries every day! This fall, we've been hanging out every Monday while Anna is in school, but tonight we're having a sleepover . . . hopefully heavy on the sleep since he's been sick all week! We read one "[k]" after another, danced with The Wiggles (I'm gonna have to investigate those four Aussies), and were mesmerized on Netflix Instant by Hopla (a Flemish-Belgian 3D cartoon for infants). Speaking of dancing, I gotta getta video of this little guy's moves--he dances like a beatnik* --I think he has inherited Pops' dancin' machine gene! I really should be snoring right now,but I keep reflecting on my 17 year-old nephew's Facebook status last week: "Even my worst days ain't that bad." Amen, Andy Rose!* Beatniks were before my era. A cool 50's youth culture.Wore berets and turtle necks. Hung out in coffee shops playing bongos and reciting poetry (and experimenting with marijuana).Pre-dates the hippie movement by about 15 years. Alen Ginsberg and Jack Keruoac were beatniks. So was the character named Maynard G. Krebs on the 1960's Dobie Gillis Show...

Are you gonna tell us about the Vicks Vapo-Rub incident? It sounds reminiscent of Amy Waggener's Vaseline & sequins adventure about 33 years ago...
no biggee--he was just doing his job as a toddler--a little experiment rubbing Vicks all through his hair--it only took about four shampoos to undo!
What a cutie! Definitely share a video of his dancing sometime soon!
