By the Numbers
Mr. Man went to the doctor recently for his "well-child visit." Naturally, he had a cold that day. Nevertheless, at the end of the appointment the nurse handed me a tiny scrap of paper with the following information. I suppose I am meant to put this in his scrapbook. Accordingly:
Height: 55.5 inches (That's 4 feet 7.5 inches, meaning he is now taller than his Nana and soon will be taller than his Aunt.)
Weight: 76 lbs
He's more small-person-sized than child-sized now. He's fantastic.

World News Today
This morning I told Mr. Man that while he was sleeping, President Obama had announced that Osama bin Laden was dead, killed during a raid of his secret compound by US troops. He asked a few questions but mostly just accepted the information quietly before asking for his daily briefing on the war in Libya which has been occupying his attention as of late.
Tonight, as we snuggled on the couch, he asked me what I thought about bin Laden being killed. I said I had been thinking about it a lot during the day and we discussed some of my reaction and the realities of the situation. Mr. Man related that a child in his class had announced Osama bin Laden's death to the class this morning and "everyone cheered but mostly I just felt sad."
