Progress

Sam and I are solidly three song into the really real "for kids" unplugged punk rock project. Although there's a bit of the snail's pace feeling to this endeavor (we both work too much, so getting together proves tough), I think we're getting somewhere. Amee's ideas for the illustrations are good.

Catch a Lizard

A few days ago Seamus woke up in a meloncholy mood, and said that he had had a dream about Water Island. We then want and saw that "Mim" flick, and that propelled his desire to visit a far away island even further. I asked him what his favorite momory of the trip was, and he said that after hermet crab beach, his favorite memory was learning how to catch a lizard from the island kids. The big lesson that he learned was that you press down on the tails first, and then scoop them up. There's a metaphor there somewhere. . .

Start of Gardening Season

I had a pleasant surprise this weekend as I was turning my compost after a long winter--the dirt is nice and dark and smells great. I'm ready for a fantastic spring.

Now that I know we're good to go, I look forward to getting Seamus' hands in the dirt. :)

Babies Don't Drink Coffee

Yup, Seamus is ready to write his first book, and apprantly it has a song to accompany the text. :) He told me that he'd have to wait until he was "six or eight" to start it, but I let him know that I'd be more than happy to consult. I think I'm going to push him to work on it tomorrow. . .
