    :)  Probably not.  Little ones don't tend to give you much sit-down time, 
either.

    That's NEAT!  My hubby and son are both big fans, too.  Jessica likes the 
movies and the robots, but doesn't have the same dedication they have.

    :)  I'll be looking for things she can do when summer hits.  Arthur is 
spending the whole break with an uncle in the Ozarks, working, which means 
Jesse will be stuck with us, by herself.  I'm actually hoping that she will 
grow a lot during that time, and maybe become closer to us, and that Arthur 
will experience separation from his parents without as much anxiety as if he 
was with strangers.  A lot of good things could come of the experiences, but 
also some bad - I'm hoping we get more good than bad.

    :)  I guess I just think you have lucky daughters.  :)
