So this has been a big week. Joel left his law firm of 9 years to start his own with another partner and good friend, Steven. Yesterday after a big afternoon at the Little Gym (story coming) we headed up to Daddy's new office to officially break in his new desk with a brocolli-cheese soup and dorito picnic. Daddy didn't see that coming but graciously allowed his son to usurp his new chair and assume the position of power while Grant's (obviously inherited) deft multi-tasking abilities took over. Somehow he was able to navigate pbskids.org, construct a cyber-parade with Clifford the Big Red dog, eat and visit with Daddy. There were only some minor casualties (16 napkins and a spooged mouse), but other than that...pretty good job and successful visit! Joel is talking about getting Grant his own little desk up there and Grant excitedly suggested that he could bring his "laptop" and play games to help Daddy make money. What a big helper!

Back to the Little Gym...Grant does this with his partner in crime, Finn. The energy that these two have when they are together is insane...running and chasing each other, hugging...just adorable! Grant had to show Finn his boo-boo on his arm, and upon seeing it Finn said, "awww!" and then gave it a kiss. Of course my heart just melts. At the end of the whirlwind that is their class, they apparently had a "magic curtain" (a gym mat turned on it's side) that they would go behind and come out in the character of their choice...Finn came out as an alligator with a big chomping mouth. My dear sweet son, came out from behind the curtain as "Ariel...The Little Mermaid!" I will file this away in the vault of my Mother's Mind and bring it up at the appropriately opportune moment in his rebellous high school days.
