First, Katie, I think I have published your comment. You posted anonomously, but only somebody like you would get pelted by a squirrel with acorns. So there's that.

Second, I would like to inject some more dinosaur into this meandering tricycle wreck of words that is indeed my blog. Guess what, dinosuars are more like penguins than you thought. Because I am sure you stay up late into the night thinking about penguins and how similar they seem to that dinosuar that you also can't stop thinking about.

Third, if any of you out there have any extra fitted sheets that might fit a crib sized mattress, please let me know. Austin has the uncanny habit of wetting his bed pretty much either directly before David goes to bed at night or 15 minutes before my alarm clock goes off in the morning. Of course he wakes up crying and therefore we wake up because we live in a very small shoebox that we pay an alarming amount of money for here in that den of iniquity we fondly refer to as the Bay Area. And Please don't lecture me on my son's bed wetting habits...it seems to happen because he sleeps on his stomach and we have not found a single diaper that can stand up to both gravity and the intensity of Austin's pee. It is an awesome power we here at Choogler Central are slowly coming to grips with.

As we are city-dwelling poor people, we have no washer or dryer and of course as usual we are very very broke. Neither David nor I are very good at jimmy-ing the washing machines at the laundry mat so we have indeed been reduced to begging. Currently Austin is sleeping on a sheet, but come tomrrow he may be sleeping on a hastily put together layer of old tube socks (made with small knots, so it isn't so bumpy). Or we may just put up our tent in our living room/bedroom/kitchen which he would enjoy more than the tube socks, come to think of it.
