When I was a little girl I always bought in to the "You can be anything you want to be!" hype. I thought of all kinds of cool stuff to be, but finally settled on a favorite: A Mommy. I mean, sure, the President might be in charge of some important stuff, but Mommies *literally* make people. Although the journey to adulthood, and Mommihood was longer and way harder than I thought, I've arrived. My son is turning one this week, so I've been thinking a great deal about the sort of things about which I want him to learn; the things about which I hope he has great passion. You know, what will be the focus of his inner geek, I mean, soul. Then I thought about the kinds of things we already do with him...
Like celebrating Hothlanta for the Snowpacolypse of 2011, and I remembered what else we've already done this year...
Geeking out as a history buff...
Playing with the iPhone... just like Daddy on his iPad...
Posing as a "Super Baby" for his first IgniteATL talk...
Waiting for his first Dragon*Con pass...
Being Baby Harry Potter in the Dragon*Con Parade...
Rockin' it with Mommy as a Klingon...
Paying homage to one of the great Geek Girl's of our time as a carrot jockey... (of Cake Wrecks and Epbot fame).
Further developing a good sense of his own Super-ness...
Rockin' the annual Improv Everywhere No Pants Subway Ride...
Yeah, I figure I'm pretty much on my way to being a total Geek Mom!
