Consider The Tad

LM has this thing that he does.  He will at times hold his bottle, toy, his hand, etc out in front of his face and just stare at it with a very concentrated look. His little eyebrows furrow. When he does this, I always say, "Consider the (fill in blank)" as if I am a professor.

Well take a looky at the thing he spends most time considering now:

Feast your eyes on the Leap Frog Hug and Learn Baby Tad, in all its demonic glory.  The sad thing is that we actually registered for it before he was born.  I had read a review saying how educational it was, blah blah blah.  But the thing is scary!  He says things like, "Let's cuddle!" and our favorite, "1 minute to nite nite!"  B says that is the title of Tad's autobiography of how he made a mint publishing his line of specialized diet plans, financial services, and gourmet beers.

But I tell you, as scary as Tad is, LM LOVES it!  Put it in the crib with him when we are trying to get him to settle in for a nap and he turns his attention to it as soon as the little lights go off on his tummy.  Tad's hideous frozen grin attracts LM's fingers and attention like no other toy these days.

I just worry that Tad is trying to sell LM Amway while he is napping.

Off to Bako to see the in-laws and dodge B's mom's attempt to thwart my diet. At least it should be a happy time because B's sister is not bringing her boyfriend K.  B's mom called to tell us this a few weeks back with this ever so subtle hint at how she feels about him.  "I have the MOST WONDERFUL NEWS!  K isn't coming to Christmas.  Isn't that WONDERFUL?!!?"

Have a nice holiday weekend, no matter what holiday you celebrate, Festivus included.

Tad is pretty creepy! At least he is just a toy, however. Yesterday, J.Q. and I were at the bookstore, and while standing in front of a rack of magazines, he shot out his chubby little hand and stuck it right on the pleather-clad ass of "Biker World"'s January cover girl. I think we have bred the next Hugh Hefner.

Have a safe trip and much fun at the in-laws.

Forget Amway, Tad may be selling Scientology! It may be time for an intervention.
