Last night Michael was having trouble getting to sleep, so I climbed into his crib with him and laid down next to him. Well Michael took this as a sign that it was play time, so he got up and started energetically climbing around the crib. I might have scolded him and asked him to lay back down, but he was just too entertaining. He would nuzzle his face right against mine and slobber on me. Next he stood up and walked around next to my head by holding onto the side of the crib. He was looking for a way out. He is very resourceful and discovered something that might help him escape: my head. So he stepped up onto my head, which really hurt, but I was laughing too hard to do anything about it. I asked him to kindly step off my head, and he did, but then he decided to sit on my head. This made me laugh even more. He did finally get to sleep and I was able to finish watching the winter Olympics. Too fun. Too fun. -Joseph

We were in 2nd place most of the day, down by as much as 7 minutes. That is until the 11th lap, which was my turn. Our team number was 418, and the team that was in first place was 410. So I was waiting at the starting line for my teammate to pass off the baton to me. The 3rd leg guy from team 410 was right there too and I was talking with him. We had both ridden the same times all day. His guy came through, and 5 minutes passed. My guy came through and I took off as fast as I could. By this time it was night and so I was racing around with ...
