Panda parenting

I, like many others, have become horrendously addicted to the PandaCam at Washington D.C.'s National Zoo. In particular, some of the baby panda antics are probably familiar to human mothers as well, specifically this tidbit from November 19:

This morning, the 19-week old Tai Shan has been very active. He's climbing up and down the ledge in the den, and using his mom as a jungle gym. He's been climbing on her while she tries to sleep, then sliding off. While on top of her, he's also been wrestling with and chewing on her shoulder. Tai Shan continues to explore and mouth bamboo, actively pulling pieces to his mouth, but he doesn't seem yet to know what more to do with it.

Statistics will probably show that the birth of Butterstick was probably
the starting point for a significant drop in productivity for the American workforce, but he's just too darn cute to resist. I mean, check out the picture above!
