While we were in Palo Alto house-hunting, we took the kids to Bright Horizons, a back-up childcare program through Phil's firm. Rather than hearing, "Don't move...Don't talk...Don't touch" over and over like the previous day when they came with us, they were able to enjoy preschool-like activities: painting, dress-up, art projects, etc. etc. When we picked Will & Olivia up, I asked them what they did at school and Olivia reported:
"I played boyfriend with my best friend."
"You played boyfriend? How do you do that?"
"Well, you need a computer and a cell phone. You send them e-mails and you call them on the phone."
"Huh. What do you talk about on the phone?" I asked, not really sure I wanted to know the answer.
"We talk about getting married," she answered, mater-of-factly.
"Oh. I see. Well, how old do you need to be to get married?"
"Six."
Oh.My.

Since Will was born, I've been keeping a notebook close by where I can record all of the funny things my kids do and say as well as the special milestones & moments of their lives. Thanks to inspiration from a fabulous friend - I now keep them here.
