four year plan

when you're four, you develop all kinds of sophisticated new tastes: off-key singing, visiting Santa at the mall (or at least seeing the Christmas tree, since the lazy bastard was at lunch), having fabulous birthday parties, playing with your train set, providing dinner entertainment, and blowing out candles. Of course, some things never get old, like building really tall towers, reading George and Martha, and going down the slide 50 times in a row.

really don't mind if you sit this one out

back in the 70s, when prog rock bands would release album-length rock operas and symphonies about mods and topographic oceans and poems by eight-year old prodigies, the labels would suggest that they excerpt a bit for those listeners who didn't have the patience for 25 minute jams. The same thing is true for videos of adorable four year olds. So, for those of you who like your cuteness in in easy-to-watch-at-work form, here are a few clips from the previously posted video.
