So I've been on a major blogging hiatus because I'm now also a future geek's mom! It's hard to believe that I am now a mommy to a one year old little geekling. It's also hard to believe that I haven't written anything on here in quite awhile. I have however been a regular contributor at ModernMama which you should absolutely check out.
Parenthood hasn't changed things around here too much however. I honestly think that all geeks are really just kids at heart. While my husband was a little out of his element with a newborn he is slowly discovering a whole new outlet for his geeky enthusiasm.
It started a few months ago when our son rolled his first critical hit on my husband's large plush D20. I could practically hear the wheels in his head turning as he created our sons very first D&D game in his head. Since then he has discovered a whole new wealth of geeky toys and books for our son, some of which I have had to veto for the moment. While it MIGHT be cool, Lego is NOT exactly an appropriate toy for a 12 month old. Also, I'm pretty sure that while my son did nod when his daddy asked if he wanted to be a gamer (it was frightening...) and recently even grasped the controller correctly (with no coaxing), that that much screen time just isn't healthy for him yet.
In any case I hope to be coming back here more often now that our son is becoming a bit more independent and will happily "read" his Star Wars ABC book to himself or anyone who might be listening.
