Monthly Update

Well, it appears I'm now down to just about one entry a month, so here's my April report.
Easter was fun. You'll see in the video below that we were visited by the Easter Bunny. You won't see in the video below that Simon and I ended up eating 50% of Marius's candy and cookies. I suspect we may have one more year to do this before he starts hiding his basket and keeping excellent records of which ones and when he has eaten them. I remember counting my Milky Ways and Snickers at Halloween time to make sure the "gremlins" (aka Mom and Dad) didn't steal any.

That day we went to the beach to play in the sand. It was a lovely day, by Scottish standards, meaning that it was about 65 degrees and only moderately windy. We were bundled up rather appropriately for southern Californians, but there were tons of natives barefoot and jumping into the water with bathing suits. Marius absolutely loves throwing sand around and making splashes in the water. I think he's gearing up for a career in mechanical engineering, but we'll just have to see about that one I suppose. In the mean time, Simon has started teaching Marius all about navier-stokes equations, which we seems to be absorbing at a phenomenal rate!

And, just because it is too hilarious not to post, here's my son running around the flat with a plastic Lego box on his head. Oh, he makes me so proud!!!!
