I’ve had so many people ask “how did you learn so much about computers?” Now I have a visual aid to answer that question with.

I didn’t want anything too “cute” and don’t care for most of the typical kids room stuff. I finally hit on an idea this weekend and am so excited to have found some awesome vintage artwork in a transportation theme. I could look at vintage posters all day- they’re so beautiful. I already had two Tin Signs with Lionel Trains on them, so I added several to that collection:

And, this awesome print that will be great with the colors in their room:

and finally, this amazing “Ballooning Over Paris” print that I’m am totally in love with:

How cool is that??? Big J loves “Hot Hair Balloons” as he calls them, so I think he’ll like it.

He’s obsessed with our little cat Astro. Where is he? What is he doing? Big J has no need for an imaginary friend. He has Astro. Astro is a bit of a reluctant friend to say the least, but he regularly finds himself pressed into service, having to perform duties that mostly consist of watching various TV programs and being carried from room to room.  He really bugs the poor kitty to death, and on the one hand I feel sorry for him and think maybe I should stop Big J from pestering him so much, but that’s just a battle I am unprepared to fight right now. There are so many other battles that I’m fighting at the moment.

The thing is, Astro could stop the insanity if he wanted to, but I think he secretly enjoys it. He must, or he would hide under the bed all day like our other cat. He’d rather have too much attention than very little (which is about what I give him these days). He also clearly thinks that Big J is the Alpha Male, because his body language is very submissive. So, I let the terrorism go on, even though it is fraught with “teachable moments” about being kind and self-control. We’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn those lessons.
