Making all the night wakings worthwhile...
Apr. 8th, 2006 09:56 pmFrom the title, you thought this would be a sappy post about Alex hugging me and calling me Mommy, right?
Nope.
The reward for making it through nearly a full year of parenthood is this:
Man, it's a good thing that we're doing her birthday presents tomorrow, because how could I wait an extra two days to play with this?
See those buttons by the handles? When you push them, voices and sound effects right out of a 50's sci-fi movie inform you that you are cleared for landing or welcome you to Jupiter or warn you about astroids. Or you can push the ignition button, and hear "3-2-1 blastoff!" accompanied by sounds, vibration, and a lit-up afterburner. ( more pictures: the aforementioned afterburner, Alex's other birthday presents, my citation abstract, and shark fin sushi. )
