Thank You, Dear Reader

• 

Thank you for reading this blog.  I appreciate your dedication and perseverance. You have endured more than I care to admit:

• the lessons of parenting strangely extracted from the American classics--Melville, Dickinson, etc. (I didn't always hide that PhD so well, did I?)
• my repetitive recounting of the plagues -- colic, insomnia, mastitis, television, diaper rash, second parent adoptions, sadness, loss, and more
• hundreds of examples of toddler art (thanks, Kayte, for your comments on them)
• my thoughts on The L Word a full year after the episodes originally aired
• a million pictures of people and plastic dinosaurs

You have indulged me in all sorts of projects and ideas.  I do appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing your experiences and wisdom in response to all my questions.  Thanks for your emails and comments. You have been a true community, and I am happy to engage in this dialogue daily.  I've truly enjoyed writing for this blog over four years.  So thanks for making this conversation interesting.  Thanks for being there.

Sincerely,
Your Humble Blogger

You look like you sat on something sharp, or squishy! :P
