Well there hasn't been much new going on here.  Alex is busy being a toddler, and trashing the house every chance he gets.  He's really taken to throwing things, which is a habit I'm trying to break.  His new favorite toy is a mini tennis ball, which was originally bought for our toy dog.  This evening he was tossing it around the house.  Then he put it in his mouth - like the dogs - and started laughing.  So much for germaphobia. 

Tonight I decided to queue on Netflix all the Oscar nominated films, films of all the nominated actors and actresses, and documentaries.  So far, I haven't seen any of the Best Picture nominees (Babel; Letters from Iwo Jima; Little Miss Sunshine; The Departed; The Queen).  I think the only movie I have seen is one of the nominated documentaries, An Inconvenient Truth (other nominees include: Jesus Camp; My Country, My Country; Iraq in Fragments; Deliver Us From Evil).

It is difficult for parents to find free time to see a movie, so Netflix is a great way to keep up with new releases.  I'll let you know what I think of these films as I review them.  Stay tuned!
