Adventures in Fannish Parenting

[przed]

Rosalind loves playing with the rolls from toilet paper. She especially loves putting them on her wrists. Like vambraces. So I started telling her that they were vambraces, determined that she will be the only kid in her preschool class who knows the names of parts of armour.

Tonight, I'm folding laundry and Ros is with the Sweetie getting ready for bed and I hear her shout "Daddy, look at my vambraces!"



I'm so proud.

Next step: teach her about tassets and pauldrons. Not to mention Boromir.

This kid is the bomb! I love seeing what she's up to. Not so much realizing that a child of her tender years learned what vambraces are before I did. I am chagrined but enchanted. :)

She is indeed the bomb.

I am chagrined but enchanted. :)

Too be fair, you didn't have a armour-obsessed mom like me raising you. *g*

Hey, are you going to MW this year? Please say yes!

Sadly, no. For us, this is The Year Of Getting Out Of Debt. I haven't given up on next year, however. I am already missing that I can't be there this year so I might have to make next year a priority -- if anyone I know is still attending by then, that is.

Sorry to hear you won't be there. And that you are in The Year of Getting Out of Debt. That's never a good thing.

I hope we're both there next year, though the way the con is going, who knows.
