  The magic of opposable thumbs. Ian can open dvd cases to switch disks
  around. Drove me to distraction.

  Plus the boy has the advantage of height (well at least over a ferret,
  though I'm betting he'll be taller than I am by the time he hits puberty.
  Unfortunately, that's really not saying much). He can reach the top of a
  counter to help me now. He doesn't eat the butter, though; he just
  squooshes it in its packaging. Then hugs me. Then wipes his hands on the
  couch. Or he'll help by taking something off my prep space. I've had cans
  and tomatoes wander into completely different rooms.

  And a ferret wouldn't shove a dvd disk into the vcr. Or foam letters. We
  got most of the number two out, but anything we tape has warped voices now.
  Makes CSI *really* creepy.

  Plus, also on height--if a ferret races to greet you and runs full tilt
  into you, you get either a bump on the ankle or claw marks up the front of
  your pants. Ian's exactly tall enough to scotch kiss his father, um, well,
  he's guaranteeing that he's an only child.

  On the plus side, we don't have to buy ferret chow. He'll eat anything that
  is on an adult's plate. Spinach, chili, hot links (and I mean spicy hot
  here - right at the edge of *my* tolerance). And I don't have to worry
  about finding poop in my shoes. Just Hot Wheels.

  But ferrets at least let you sleep in on weekends. It's a trade off.

  Back to the shadows,
