Kid pictures of the day.

Colin has great smiles every day, but as soon as one of us picks up the camera he sobers up. This was a lucky catch.



A couple of times a day, in one of his active-alert periods, he catches my eye and then starts making a lot of eye contact, smiling, and cooing. "Oooh! Goo! Oh!" I coo back at him, and then he coos again. I think it's so neat that the impulse to have a conversation starts this early.

Here's the Alex picture of the day:



"This is a pretend electrical magnet. Here's the magnet, and this spring is the wire for the electric current to go through."

(You can blame The Magic School Bus and the Electric Field Trip for that one. It's been her favorite for ages, which is a shame because I find it incredibly boring.)

You and Michael made some absolutely gorgeous and spirited children.

If I didn't know she's a week shy of her 4th birthday I'd think she was at least 6, looking at that picture. Possibly 7 or 8. Her hands are still a little girl's hands, but her face looks like the face of a very confident 3rd grader.

Also, I'd be happy to make a real electro-magnet with her.

Colin is just cute as the dickens.

She says, "Yes! I would like to!"

I sent you a private reply to this the other night. Did you get it? I'll be delighted to do this with her next time I'm over there.

My, Alex is growing into a gorgeous kid.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Four years old and she already understands electricity generation? Fantastic.

We can use more brains like hers in the electrical supply industry, you know...

Well, let's not get carried away here. I wouldn't say understands. She is interested, though.

Heh, fair call.

It's still cool, though.

Next step -- by moving that pretend magnet back and forth within that pretend coil, she can generate pretend AC!

Great pictures: Alex is really looking like a kid instead of a toddler.

Wonderful pictures, thanks!
