Man is this kid smart. I know everybody says that but seriously this boy is gifted. I don't mean he is going to be good at math I mean he is going to split the atom when he gets bored. Today Holden with all his might and more concentration than a Shaolin monk reached out and struck a set of plastic keys daddy was dangling not once but several times. His legs would pump, his arms would shiver, his face would get a little red and then BAM! he would strike. I know! I know! Amazing! but wait, he isn't even due until tomorrow!! Forget the college fund you guys should invest in Holden Inc.
Lets see what else...Holden understands period of darkness and period of daylight and his mother is pleased, well so am I. Diaper changing during the day now has the implied task of book reading and visual stimulation. Grandma Charlotte has declared Holden a "smart boy" also, which carries clout, having raised a dentist, lawyer (one more semester) and teacher. "Man again how smart this kid is, do these Griffins have some nerv or what? Next thing they will have the bumper sticker."
Yeah we are proud! Maybe you have been or will be. Narcissism or objectivity?
Holden joined the 1% today as he is the proud owner of a baby wipe warmer. This opulence is not borne from wealth but out of miserly budgeting and a desire to not hear him cry every time the cold cloth touches his nether regions.

Tomorrow is Holden's first church service where we will introduce him to the stimulating entertainment of Methodist, no doubt more active than Garrison Keillor's Lutheran crowd (we love NPR and systemically so does Holden). We continue to be thankful of a community that brings over dinners and checks on the status of welfare.
I hear our West coast readers got an eclipse today, Bonnie Tyler style. Well, here is what Holden saw.
