He is not yet 6--won't be 6 till early spring.

geofizz, he has a good model in his sister! (OT) Here's the start of what DD9 was writing while he was writing this--a story about a tern migrating for the first time:

"Caspian let out a long, harsh call. He was cold to his downy feathers. Not understanding how terns survive flying south, he let out another call to tell his flock he was directly behind them. Muttering to himself, he turned around, trying to get a last look at the home he was leaving behind."

(okay, that should go in the brag thread)
