:-D You have a lot of :cool: things to look forward to. My current favorite: teaching my daughter how to drive. While I'm very proud of the smart young woman at the wheel, I miss the little one who used to run out the door to meet me when I got home from work ("Daddy! Daddy!").

It was only natural that when all my yo-yo strings finally broke I learned how to solve a rubik's cube over a weekend. I can now solve it in less than two minutes. :) 目は心の鏡。

Wow, so I came back and broke the lounge :-O I'll do my best not to do that again! Thanks Christian for fixing it, and to everyone else for the replies. Sorry to hear Michael was unwell :rose: Gary, I'm not sure we think of Emma as a spawned subprocess, but thanks :laugh:. I'm feeling rather groggy from the almost 24 hour feeding, but she's so gorgeous I can put up with it :-D
A mum and loving it! My (very young) blog[^]

I think there's something a little different/special about the connection between fathers and daughters (and probably mothers and sons; ask your wife). I've only got the one daughter, so I don't have any direct experience with sons. My own father left the picture when I was 9, so my memories from that direction are dim. As a result, I probably over-compensate in the fatherhood department. My daughter doesn't seem to mind (or is too polite to say anything). The funny thing about this is how it's affected my relationship with my own mother. I try to call her more often, and stop by more than I used to.

Don't make me think about the future :(( I hope that never stops. Of course it might get embarassing for her when I visit at college :laugh:

My 3 year old son does this, though his head is just the right height to be dangerous especially since he doesn't slow down when he gets to me X|

I learned quickly to drop the stuff, kneel down, arms out. Any other position resulted in grief of some kind, either to my daughter's feelings or my, ahem, parts.

Agree but yet to see any evidence of my son's feelings being hurt

Hehehehe, short story for me there.... My ex's kids were one year+ apart, but the daughter moved up a grade so both son and daughter were in the same grade. Unfortunately driving is based on age, not class, so Melissa was VERY upset she was not allowed to learn how to drive. So I volunteered to take her and her brother out to learn in the empty parking lot of the southern NM state fair grounds. Unlike the main grounds in Albq, the southern one is rarely used so really is empty most of the year (they have racing at night, but that still leaves the parking lot open in the day). A sheriff officer lives in a home right next to the lot, so they get decent security. So... to make a long story short, I let Michael drive first, let him learn how to turn, drive straight, etc. Then Melissa takes over, she knows she is too young, but we are in the middle of nowhere... No sooner than I let her take over and she slowly moves forward, then the sheriff car pulls out of his home and heads for the exit, following her. She is crying and in fit, thinking she is going to be arrested for driving too young. Suprisingly she isn't doing bad for being a complete emotional wreck at the moment, I keep trying to tell her that I would get in trouble, not her, but try convincing anyone in a panic of logic.... Finally I convince her to pull over and slow down and let the officer past, he is laughing so hard it makes her furious. :laugh: Now try to convice a woman who is angry that the officer wasn't laughing at her, but the situation! :laugh:

Poor kid. Celeste (my daughter) is doing pretty well. She got her driver's permit back in March, which lets her drive with a parent. She just had her 16th birthday, so she can get her license as soon as she completes driving instruction. In Ohio, you're required to have 40 hours of instruction (32 hours classroom, 8 hours driving) from a state-licensed instructor in order to get your license.

Congrats and welcome back though it's not as if you left... we were keeping a spot warm or you. Right next to the fire and the hot steamed tea and some rather fine biscuits. Put your feet back up, recline the seat a bit and make sure the little one is comfortable. Let us know if we can get anything for you.:rose:

Welcome back, Megan! Congratulations on your spawned subprocess! As you can see from the difficulties in responding to your post, the squirrels are rebelling again. Chris is fighting the good fight, but I fear the rodents are winning at the moment...
