New Thing(s) I Learned:

We don't have to pay any estimated tax for 2003. Happy day.

I hijacked the computer or, more accurately, the monitor yesterday to spend some quality time at the IRS website. Alan seemed to take it very well, he and Connor went outside to play, but when I came back into the room an hour or so later he was monitor shopping rather than slaving away. So now I have a monitor coming. Early Christmas for me.

Connor has a new word. Everything is 'Coo'. I'm finding it terribly cute. He had a bit of a trauma last night. I went to work out and I thought I would take Connor with me and leave him in their child care area. I figured Alan could use the uninterrupted work time and Connor seemed eager to get out, so what the heck. Connor chatted non-stop on the car trip and seemed OK with the play rooom, but I returned 45 minutes later to a standoff. He was sitting in the middle of the floor with a distinctly belligerent look on his face and tear stains on his cheeks. The attendant and two of her buds were lined up against the wall staring back at him. Oh, well.
