I Lag

I haven't posted lately because, well, I lag. And now I have a cold.
Alec is well, though. He had a great long weekend in Yreka, hanging with the grandmas. At my high school's homecoming parade he learned to stand at the curb with his hands out calling, "Candy! Candy!" Then he'd squirrel it away in a doorway.
Also, I've noticed that perhaps since Tom and I are so quick to jump up and take away from Alec anything potentially harmful or unappetizing, he generally brings us any forbidden items that he may find (today, he brought Dad a deflated balloon at the park). But I didn't realize we might be warping him just a tad when last night, in the bath, he came across a wad of hair. He picked it up, handed to me and said, in the most disgusted voice, "Gwoss!"
