@Rob - There have been no unintentional attempts on my life. Yet.

Yes, you’ve definitely reached the age where your child wants to “help” you (or as my boy says: “halp?”). And by “help” I mean “murder” or “maim.”

@Jahnoth - It has not been ruled out as a possibility. In any case, I just want Kyle to know the score.

@Nycteris - Thanks. He really is a very considerate boy, he just doesn’t realize that some tasks require a certain amount of fine motor control that he currently lacks.

@Greg - It’s all about the significant digits, eh?

@Jahnoth - He’s already at the right height for headbutting daddy in the crotch.

“Oooof!” I exclaim after he pummels my nethers with his forehead. “You just killed your brother!”

LOL!

Just wait until he’s at the age where he likes to tackle you when you come through the door after work, and his head is at just the “right” height…

That’s a wonderful story! (Nose agony aside.)

Cute story. We introduced our 1-year-old to the zoo this weekend, where she mainly just pointed at a lot of animals. Pointing was the main activity at the zoo.

As far as measuring age, you’ll notice that I call her a 1-year-old despite the fact that she’s actually nearing 14 months. Somehow, it always bugged me when a parent said their child was 19 months and you were forced to stop and do math. I’ve got nothing against math; my only gripe is against annoying math. And so Lia is one. She will be one and a half, and then she will be two.
