Ian's Stats

Ian went for his 2 year check up yesterday and he is healthy and perfectly normal. He is 35 3/4" tall which puts him in the 81st percentile for height and he weighs 29 lbs and 14 oz which puts him in the 73rd percentile for weight. Healthy and normal.

He also did a pretty good job getting four shots. Aaron reports that the first he took like a champ but each successive shot was a bit worse until the last one he really wasn't having it. Poor guy. But it's better than having the flu, chicken pox, hepatitis or polio!

So I've been pretty good about not screaming for glee that we now have a President Elect Obama! But let me tell you it was an emotional night in Chicago. I admit that when I heard the news I was moved to tears as were many others. What a step in the healing of this country! We didn't go down to the rally because of concerns that it wasn't the best for Ian and I really thought that it would possible go until well into the wee hours. In retrospect I kinda wish we had been there. Aaron and I stayed up to hear his speach and to hear the city erupt in celebration (which we could definitely hear!). Lots of horns honking, people firing off their guns and the subsequent sirens. It was interesting though, as soon as Barack stepped out on stage the city fell silent. Very cool.

So I told my boss the next day to tear up that request to be transferred to the Toronto office... love it!
