Things that make you know you're doing something right.

Minifob's new bedtime habit is to fall asleep listening to NPR. He doesn't understand half (or more) of what they're talking about, of course, but he loves to try.

This is what I refer to, in parenting terms, as "rad" or "totally rad"



The mini-Pooka informed us, months ago, mid-Kindergarten, that reading at night "helps her mind to settle down," so that she can go to sleep.

I told her, "I do the same thing!"

I don't know when I learned this trick, but I damn well know that it wasn't anywhere near Kindergarten.

The kids got something frighteningly smarter than I am, in their mother's genes.
