Brand Awareness Training for Infants

While holding Maria the other night, I decided to try a little Brand Awareness Training for Infants (BATI). I had no logos to show her, so I did what I could and started reciting names of fast food restaurants: McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, ... At this point Sue overheard what was going on and quickly put stop to it. I guess I'll have to come up with other ways to train up our little girl to be the brand aware consumer necessary to to survive in today's modern society.

Mass-Energy equivalence lullaby

I've been singing to Maria lately - she's a captive audience, and I'm taking advantage of her being too young to know that Daddy can't sing.

One of the songs I made up was the "Mass-energy Equivalence Lullaby", to the tune of "Mary had a little lamb" (more or less)

E E E equals m c squared
m c squared
m c squared
E E E equals m c squared
Just like Einstein wrote

Dad: The Superior Napping Platform

Okay, so she's not actually sleeping in this picture, but she seems to really like sleeping on Dad's chest.

Two weeks

Maria survived two whole weeks! (And, her parents also made it through two weeks!!)

Only 17 years and 50 weeks to go.
