Happy Birthday to him. Here is some birthday fudge you can give him. My
oldest was 9 last month and my baby is almost 4 (wah!)

Natalia is 2 and a few months...

Amazed you let him live that long?

"terrible two year old".

Tell me about it. My kindergartener keeps reminding me that she's
"almost a first-grader," and I just bought my second-grader a pair of
dress shoes that I can stuff MY feet into.

My tiny premmie baby is currently looking at High Schools she wants to
go to! We're pretty much settled on one that will be a bit tricky to
get there (2 busses minimum) BUT has an excellent G&T programme.
She's going to sit the test for that one next year and if she passes
(I have no doubt that she will) then she gets to decide whether she
skips year 7 and goes straight to year 8 in 2007 or to defer entry for
a year.

There are closer High Schools but they either come with unacceptable
(to any of us, her included) religious aspects or are more
trade-oriented. No bad thing, but being trained to work in the Holden
car factory is not much help to a kid who plans on going into robotics
engineering and/or AI research.
