We celebrated Earth Day by using our feet and our fannies to bike ourselves to school, instead of fossil fuels. It was fun, Peter did great on the longest bike ride of his short little life, and now that weather permits, we'll do it more often.
Editing to add: I had a fascinating conversation with Peter about Star Wars today, which largely involved the issue of whether Yoda has claws (his argument: He is a creature, Mom! He *has* sharp claws!) and how to spell "Darth Vader." I spelled it out for him carefully several times, and he started to object that I wasn't calling him "Dark Vader" so we had a talk about Dark vs. Darth. Peter got increasingly frustrated and then finally asked, "Mom, how do you spell coo-coo head?" Anybody need to guess whom he might have been thinking about there?
Anyway, the overall news there is that we're raising him up right, to revere light sabers and argue nuance about science fiction movies.
