Easter was fun. Cute story - my nephew adores Charlie - thinks he hung the moon - and on Saturday night, my sister asked him what he wanted the Easter Bunny to bring and he said 'Charlie'. When he woke up Easter morning, he saw the basket, but no Charlie and lay down on the kitchen floor and cried. He was very glad to see Charlie at my parent's house later.

( here they are playing together )

( what the Bunny Brought )

I had this dream the other night that I'd moved to Oxford, England. In my dream I was talking to the students that Charlie'd be in school with, telling them that he was Autistic and to please be nice to him. Later in the dream I was driving through town to my new home, and I remember feeling really happy.

Was kind of a bummer to wake up, actually.

Isn't it a strange place, for bringing up your children..

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Paul Hester, the drummer from popular 1980s Australian rock band Crowded House, hanged himself in a park in southern Australia, an emergency services spokeswoman said Monday.

Back when Charlie was first getting into The Wiggles, when he was around 3 years old, we managed to find the Yummy, Yummy video - this was back before they 'hit it big' here in the States, and it was a challange finding them - his daycare had a copy of one of their videos, which is how we got involved in the first place. Anyway...on the Yummy, Yummy video, the Wiggles had a Paul Hester as a guest singer/drummer on a couple of the songs, and introduced him as 'Paul the Cook'.

I remember thinking how cool it was that someone from an '80's' band that I liked was hanging with the group my son was now into. I'm guessing that Paul did it because he had small children who would enjoy seeing their daddy with the Wiggles.

So, thanks Paul, both for the silly music of my youth, and for making a cameo in a children's video. I hope you've found peace now.
