Sure, NOW DSW thinks it's a good idea, but when I was cloning myself he kept saying "Use a paper bag!"

Cute kid, Fire suits are expensive at that age.

My first word was sh!t... and said in context. mom then realised that she used her favourite word a bit too much.

Congratulations on the kid... question is. will he hand you the tool, or take off running and giggling?

There is some merit to the grm blankie idea....but might I suggest a modification? GRM cloth diaper rags. Now that my son doesn't spit every too seconds, we have plenty of these things around and they make a great shammy.

Congrats, it is a lot of work but very much worth it. Your heart will melt the first time you come home and he comes running to the door yelling "Daddy" and grabs your legs. Good stuff.

I would but cannot find good information/websites on what is out there for karting. I tried looking for forums, but couldn't find any as well. I wouldn't mind him trying it.

Well considering the fact my wife will be the primary bread winner, and my title will continue to be "homemaker". I don't really see this happening, but I understand what I mean.

and I had to hold a leg and help her push, so I saw both ends, her bottom half and top half at the same time. I nearly passed out at one point, but was able to hold it together. And gladly it only took and hour to push him out. I figure that was easy compared to the rest of his life.

For competitive karting, eKartingNews.com is a good place to start.

For building a kart to bomb around the neighborhood: http://www.mxk.com/1ykplans/ykmenu.htm
