We have Toddling!

Last night I saw The Man Cub take his first unassisted steps. I only saw him take 5 or 6 to go from Grandma to The Missus, and they tell me as soon as I left the room, he toddled across its full width.

The little @#$%&!! is still not sleeping past 5 am, but we’re making progress on that, too. We’ve secured a small loan to cover moving expenses and one way or the other, we’ll be packing up the buggy and moving somewhere else in town by Jan. 1; somewhere that has a separate room for the boy, after which I will train his ass or he will break mine. But with a room of his own, at least I stand a fighting chance of coming out ahead on this one.

Took care of a lot of important family business this weekend, and the future is beginning to loom less and beckon more.

So there you have it. Looking forward to returning to covering political outrages. Doesn’t that Iraq Study Group thing come out this week? Leaked reports seem to suggest it will produce a series of go-along to get-along recommendations neatly in line with W’s current policy of “Let the next president figger it out. Heh heh.”

But that’s another post, not this one. This here is a happy post!
