stuck in my ear – 321 Contact
I watched this clip many, many times last night, especially the complete intro at the end. Was this the best show on TV back then? Or maybe it was this? It sure brings back memories… And makes me want to pass on all my favorites to Max. I read The Hobbit in fourth grade and never looked back.

Sixth disease aka exanthem subitum aka roseola infantum
Max has roseola. Yesterday the fever left and the pediatrician said the rash would peak, and it seems that the concentrated red spots all over baby’s face, chest, and back have turned somewhat blotchy and less well-defined today. The important thing is that Max is getting stronger again. We played around some yesterday and even though he didn’t smile so much, it was a relief to see him demanding mental stimulation again. Until two days ago was just horrible – he was hugging mommy all day and got weepy about anything. Last night, he actually let me hold him and put him to sleep with two conditions: I didn’t stop…

I’m not too worried because he’s a strong boy and getting sick is part of growing up, but it’s hard on Nam because he’s even more weepy and sensitive than he was a few days ago. She’s not getting much…

clingy
Max is currently going through a very clingy stage with mommy. The past few nights, he would only sleep if she was holding him – and get this – walking steadily. The second she tried to set him on his bed or even just sit down while still holding him, he would start sobbing uncontrollably (BTW, it’s amazing how babies can tell if you’re actually walking or just sitting and rocking back and forth to emulate walking). This went on all night, every night, and I’m impressed that Nam still goes to work and functions normally and all that. So. Yesterday I stayed home with the baby all afternoon and…

happy new year!
We’re taking a trip out to Surin today to visit Max’s great grandmother and other assorted relations; it should only take 2 or 3 hours to get there. We’ll be back tomorrow!
