My son's a toddler, which means that snow is just about the most fascinating thing ever. I love being able to bundle him up, plunk him down outside, and watch him flail around. Of course, then he faceplants and I have to swoop down and scoop him up. But he's giggling the entire time. Such a silly little kid.

I'm glad he can have this time, though. Time to be normal, to not be afraid. To not be overwhelmed by the world and the way it treats people like us. To just enjoy being a kid. And oh, he does enjoy it. Especially this winter, as it's really the first one where he's been old enough to do more than stare blankly at the snow. (Yeah, trying to see if a two-year-old would play in the snow? Didn't work.) So I take him out in the snow every day, because it makes him giggle and I'd do anything to make him giggle. Because honestly, who knows when something will happen? Have to enjoy this while we can.

A lot of things make me laugh, but what makes me laugh the most is my son.

His innocent, childish delight in everything makes me laugh because he's the light of my life. The joy he gets out of life makes me smile, makes me laugh, makes me happy. My son is the most amazing little kid I know.

The Who jokes aside, I'm... not sure who I am. And that's on a good day.

Oh, I know that I'm Thomasin Elizabeth Doniger, commonly called Tamsin. I know that I'm twenty-three years old. I know that I have a beautiful, intelligent, wonderful girlfriend -- hi, Kitty! -- and the world's most adorable three-year-old for a son. I know that I'm one of the most powerful empaths on the planet. I know I'm Colt, one of the X-Men.

But I still don't know who I am.

After twenty-three years on the planet, you might think that I would know at least something of who I am. Apparently you'd be wrong.
