The Cool Part

[dr_pretentious]

A lot of things make Gareth happy, but the one that delights him above all others is lying in his crib looking up at his mobile while I blow on the painted felt fish to make them spin around overhead. If I do that between phrases of singing Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World" and wiggle his legs for him in time to the Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea line, that elicits his biggest, most perfect laugh.

I find I prefer blowing on a fish mobile while singing and wiggling baby legs over almost all other forms of human endeavor.

What I wouldn't give to be well-paid for just staying at home playing with Rowan.
With occasional breaks for the Web.

That's because children are inherently more important than most other human endeavours - and when they're your kids, more important than any other. Seems like you've got things just about spot on perfect :)
