It was a great Christmas for the pin’k’ household. I spent more time with our son than when he was in the NICU. He got one of the much-sought-after T.M.X. dolls, known to the rest of the world as the 10th anniversary edition Tickle Me Elmo. It’s creepy that he laughs at you as you open the package.

Honestly, though, he enjoys the wooden blocks (my idea) and musical instruments (wife’s idea) more than anything. My mother got me magnetic sculpture toys — tool, it’s the same one as your son has, only I also got the 60 piece kit, too. I’ll write more about Christmas tomorrow. Suffice it to say that it was a truly wonderful Christmas.

Wickersham Brothers
I watched Horton Hears a Hoo and I couldn’t shake the image of the Wickersham Brothers from my mind. For those that haven’t seen it (or read this one of Dr. Seuss’s work) the Wickersham Brothers decide that because Horton hears something that they neither understand or believe, that Horton must be ‘taught a lesson’.

No need to say more, really.
