I birthed a nerd

I know, you're all shocked. Katie won't sit through more than a few minutes of Sesame Street. She will, however, sit and watch 30 minutes of the BBC series The Life of Mammals with David Attenborough. We watched a kangaroo give birth, and a platypus feed her baby. We learned why koalas sleep so much (there isn't much nutritional value in eucalyptus leaves, so they eat and then conserve energy).

I think Katie's favorite was the numbat. They have very long tongues that they have to keep coated with saliva. So they have to stick their tongues in and out. Katie liked imitating them.

We only made it up through marsupials, obviously.

And seriously, isn't David Attenborough the greatest? What a cool job...
