just the thing for a growing boy
two little girls from paul's school have invited him to birthday parties. both times cam talked to their mothers to find out what sort of things the girls would like for a gift. one liked hello kitty and hannah montana. the other enjoyed "running a pet store." today i wondered how i'd answer if someone asked me about a possible present for paul: "oh, he's interested in science -- particularly meteorology -- and medieval weaponry." makes me glad his birthday has already passed.
