I adore this boy (picture was taken at the summit of a recent hike). Not only is he the sweetest most cuddly kid but he is also my ally, as was evidenced during a recent conversation.
“Amber, please do not ask me if I have the car keys.”
“But you frequently forget them, Jamie.”
“If I forget, I will simply go back in the house and retrieve them. I don’t need you nagging me about it.”
“Fair enough.”
[A few minutes later as we walked out to the car, out of habit I started to ask him if he had the keys. I fortunately stopped myself before I uttered a word and slipped into the car. Bode, on the other hand, had his own ideas.]
“Daddy?”
“Yes, Bode?”
“Got keys?”

On another note: see my new widget on my sidebar? It is an ultra-cool Colorado-based company, The Blog Frog, and one of the founders is a Denver mom. The Blog Frog is a great solution if you want to turn your blog just “just a blog” into more of a community.
When you sign up for TheBlogFrog, it asks for the address of your blog. Behind the scenes, TheBlogFrog visits your blog and looks at your Blogroll. The people on your Blogroll then become your Blog Friends. Once TheBlogFriends knows who your Blog Friends are, you can install “Social Add-ons” on your blog and start having fun with your friends with an interactive community that includes a forum and Twitter. It is the answer to all my blogroll dilemmas because I just can’t keep up with adding everyone. Best of all? It is a great way to promote your blog and it is a part of a network of thousands of blogs.
So, if you’re a blogger be sure to link your blog to mine and then just click on my nifty widget. Your latest posts will show up in my stream!
