The laugh riot from my son at bath time when he splashes is literally the best sound I have ever heard.
Ours is just starting to laugh. She mostly laughs at the dogs when they play with each other. But she is starting to laugh at us when we play peak-a-boo with her.

Unbreakable maybe, but they can still soak it! Mine spilled an entire glass of milk on our first ipad a few years back. Nothing could get it alive again. They have their own Nabis now and are not allowed to touch my tablet.

Nabi is pretty neat, although she mainly only uses it on car rides. My daughter plays a lot of music (the stuff that came with it) on it, which I really didn't think was going to be the main thing she used it for (figured games).

Today and tomorrow, school cancelled. I'm running out of things to do with the kids! If it were possible to go outside, we'd be fine, and we'll do some of that, but it's so cold here that we can't do much of anything outside.

I love winter! These snow days make for awesome memories. I'm going to cook a massive breakfast with all the kids helping to cook. Maybe we'll have hot chocolate in a snow shelter we build.

Don't take things like snow days as an inconvenience. They're an opportunity.

Indiana. It's supposed to be colder than cold tomorrow. The school board has unofficially said something along the lines of "unless the polar vortex turns into a heat vortex, don't expect there to be school on Tuesday." A few boards have officially cancelled for Tuesday already, the rest will probably around noon today.

Schools, courts, libraries, everything confirmed cancelled for tomorrow. Travel ban in place until 6PM tomorrow. $2,500 fine if you're on the roads and are non-essential.

Guess we're not going out to skate after all. Get out the snowshoes!

If my kid could find a way around a MAC id ban from a password protected router, he/she is free to use all the internet he/she wants.

Precisely my point: Are you raising an IT security expert in a stupid technology arms race in an effort to avoid being a parent or do you simply talk to your kid and work out the problem?

Well, if you have dumb kids I can understand your reason to lock them up and keeping their life away from them, sure.

Talk to your kids, nudge-nudge.
