"Pretty boy front man" I caved. But, tell me that he doesn�t look adorable in the jacket. C�mon�I dare ya! I really found a good deal. Besides, he�ll be wearing it for at least 3 years. Really. It is a perfect fit on Bailey right now and Jared is 3 sizes behind Bailey so as long as we take good care of it, the jacket seems like a worthwhile investment. I had to give it to him today. Short story, we had to get out the door to meet my parents at the movie theater and Jared was pitching a fit (about his hair, which I spiked at his request, but then he changed his mind�drama queen!). I grabbed a birthday gift and tossed it to him a day early as a bribe to stop the tears. No big deal, really. He knew I ordered the jacket and he tried it on already when it arrived on Friday. He still doesn�t know that we got him a child-sized acoustic guitar. He�ll open that tomorrow. If he treats it well and stays interested, we�ll get him lessons. Who knows, maybe he really will be a rock star someday. He�s got the hair, he�s got the jacket, he�s got the instrument� Yesterday was spent cleaning the carpets and shopping for Jared�s birthday party. Unfortunately, the large red �surfboard� that was drawn on the carpet with red marker is here to stay. We tried. Hard. It�s permanent. Lovely. We settled the kids down for a campout on the living room floor. Jared went to sleep with the notion that perhaps Santa would forget that we are Jewish and accidentally leave some gifts here. It didn�t happen, obviously. He didn�t seem to care too much in the morning. We went out to breakfast (a Sunday morning family tradition) and told them we were celebrating Jared�s birthday. He got an enormous piece of chocolate cake. Afterwards we went to see The Producers with my parents, my brother, and my sister. Fucking hilarious! Makes me wish I�d seen that when Lisa and I went to New York. I think this is the last time we�ll be able to take Bailey to see something so suggestive without him asking questions. He�s just about at that age where he realizes when he doesn�t get a joke and asks about it. There was one part (can�t remember which one) where I looked at Ryan and whispered, �If your son asks about that one, you�re explaining it!� Truth is, I bet I�ll end up being the one to give all the sex talks. I mean, I�m a middle school science teacher. I spend weeks every spring covering this stuff. The whole time I was going through the credential program, I never dreamed I�d end up in front of a class saying things like, �You need to use a condom every time. Every single time. Even for oral sex.� Then I wait for the grossed out faces and say, �Why do you think they come in flavors?� After 4 years, I can even do it with a completely straight face. Wow, and that was a very random topic change. I leave you with that, while I am off to make 2 dozen cupcakes for tomorrow. Oh joy. Children pumped up on sugar and stuck inside my house because it�s raining. That sounds like fun!
