The lion invades tonight

We're back in New York, after spending Christmas with my family up in snowy Methuen, Massachusetts. It was a great time - filled with family and friend reunions, heaps of delicious food, and numerous warnings shouted my way to "make sure Jennifer doesn't fall on the ice!!"

Santa was generous to all of us, including the little one, who received his/her first stuffed animal Christmas gift: a ferocious, blood-thirsty carnivore... in a cuddly form.



There's a monkey and rhino, too - and they sing! It's very, very nice. Of course, the introduction of this stuffed animal into our home means we must officially start turning a particular room of our apartment into a nursery. And, naturally, that room would be the one room I have complete control over: the office. As you can see below, the transformation has already begun.



Sure, it doesn't look much like a nursery now, but slowly more and more animals will appear, replacing the books, papers, and even the computer. Soon, the room Jennifer insists I have complete control over - a room she has NOTHING to do with - will no longer be mine. At least I'll still have the TV, right?

In other news: the little one spent the past week getting larger. It looks like Jennifer will soon be able to get a seat on the subway without any problems.

That "rhino" looks more like a hippo. You sure the toy company gots its pachyderms right?
