"I'm the Buzz Lightyear Brigham!"

As I type this blog, I am also holding a conversation with Michelle and the Boys on Skype. And the coolest thing is happening right now: Brigham is learning to spell. He is clicking on little emoticons in the text message window and then typing the word of what the emoticon is. We give a high five on the video screen after each one. Here are a few examples.

PBSKIZ = PBS Kids.com
HI = Hi
SNAP = Snap (like snap your fingers)
LAPS = Lips
BIRTHAKAK = Birthday cake
STAR = Star
PAT = Spit
GRM = Green
BRTHA = Birthday
MU = Money (try #1)
MUNE = Money (try #2)
TADEBEARBZ = Teddy Bears
HG = Heart
BABE = Baby

BOK = Book

and the coup de grace:
MAEKALVAN = Calvin Mackay

Before I said it as false bravado; now I'm saying it because it's ridiculously true.

MY BOYS ARE FRIGGIN' GENIUSES.
