Dawning of Age

I, Brian, had a disturbing conversation with my son tonight. I was tucking him into bed when he began rubbing my forhead with his fingertips and asked me, "Dad, do I have red lines on my forehead?"
"No, you don't."
"Well, why do you?"
"I just do."
"How did you put them there?"
"I don't know."
"Why did you put them there?"
"I didn't. They just happened."
"But how did they get there?"
So I responded the only way I could: "Go ask your mother."

First Day of School


Here is Forrest on his first day of first grade!

We went to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago last weekend. It is *huge* and very cool. Forrest really liked the space section.
This is a gigantic model of the heart that you can actually walk through.

Forrest was "driving" a combine - there was a huge screen with a video of a field right in front of us.
