Class was cancelled last night, so I got unexpected time with Asher. The lion's share of it was spent trying to get the kid to understand that if he wants to sleep in a bed, he has to stay in it. He can't show up in the kitchen after five minutes with random requests for books, cookies, and bus rides.

Plans for this weekend are largely dependent on whether or not my professor moves back the due date for the midterm. Right now, I have a 15-page paper due next Thursday. If that changes, we'll be going to a handful of Purim events and toddler birthday parties (great fun, to be sure). If it does not change, I will be a grumpy and busy guy for the next 72 hours.
