Back when SteelyKid was a toddler and pre-schooler, I had a lot more free time in which to transcribe the various conversations I had with her into super-cute blog posts. The Pip is in the same sort of stage now, and tells some amazing stories, but I have much less time, and by the time I do get free to get to the computer, I usually forget about it.<\/p>\n<p>However, while cleaning up and photographing the Giant Shelf of Kid Art, I ran across a book that he made with&#8230; One of his preschool teachers, I guess, because it wasn&#8217;t me or Kate. It&#8217;s all about his current obsession, the Nick Junior cartoon <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nickjr.co.uk\/shows\/paw-patrol\/\">PAW Patrol<\/a> (which, if you&#8217;re not familiar with it, is <a href=\"http:\/\/adequateman.deadspin.com\/why-your-childrens-television-program-sucks-paw-patrol-1758314083\">written up by Drew Magary at Deadspin<\/a>, who pretty much nails it), and now that I look at it, functions both as a good record of the sort of conversations we have with our cartoon-obsessed Little Dude and a spec script.
