Too much talent for one baby alone!
Huge congratulations go out to Andy Rotherham and his wife who welcomed two baby girls into the world last week...
Rotherham (who moonlights as Eduwonk, heads Education Sector, writes books, pursues a Ph.D., and could probably do this if he wanted), is one of the sharpest and funniest guys in the business, and his wife is a brilliant and cheerful educator in her own right. Obviously, that was going to be too much talent for one baby alone. As it is, both will still make Chuck Norris's abilities look like William Hung's.
Best wishes to mom, dad, and the twins.
