Ah, the fickle love of a toddler.

It is morning, and Scott is ready to go out the door, and I soon must. Scott takes Drew to day care. Drew, having been handed to me for watching (and application of shoes) while Scott loaded his car, is right by me when Scott comes back.

"Hey, Drew! Daddy's ready to go. Do you want to go outside?"

"Outside!" And he stays near me, not going over to the gate where Scott is standing.

"Yes, outside. Can you go to Daddy so he can take you outside?"

"Mommy! Outside!" He comes to me and clings to me, tugging as if to make me stand. With a laugh, I do, walking over to Scott.

We do a three-way hug with kisses, Drew says "good-bye", I say "good-bye" and Drew...clings to me. "Mommy! Outside!"

"Drew...Mommy doesn't have shoes on yet. Mommy can't go outside. If you want to go outside, you have to go with Daddy."

Drew hesitates a beat, then performs a lunge at Scott, clinging to his shoulders as Scott scoops him up.

Ah, the fickle love of a toddler...is so sweet.

Vox amusements

So I once created an account on Vox to test it out (hey, I'm a beta tester!). And then I was pretty sure I never used it. Pretty sure, but not completely sure. So tonight I retrieved the password and connected in to be sure there was no non-public-visible data there that I might want. Indeed, there was no data, basically.

Good.

The amusement factor? Is that at the top of the page I signed into was a big announcement about how they're shutting down and what my options are to get my content out, and how they're not accepting new registrations....

...and at the bottom was a couple paragraphs exhorting me to invite/recruit all my friends, acquaintances, pets, and dust bunnies.

Heh.

30 days of music, #11

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

Augh! Which favorite band? *whines* S.J. Tucker, Suzanne Vega, and Dan Fogelberg - all likely to turn up as such - have already made this meme. Ruling out the ones I am nearly 100% sure will appear later in this meme...hmm.

Billy Joel. In which case, it has to be "The Downeaster Alexa" because it's just beautiful.
