SteelyKid was in an exceptionally happy mood the other night, and so I not only got the silly face shot from the previous post, but also this more traditional Toddler Blogging picture, with Appa, no less: All together now: Awwwwwww…. Appa, you may or may not recall, has served as our standard length reference for… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 102011

Donors Choose Fundraiser: Double Your Impact
I’ve been too busy to really work on the DonorsChoose fundraiser this year, but it’s worth taking a little time to mention this opportunity: Starting today and running through Saturday midnight, the DonorsChoose board will match donations to the Science Bloggers for Students fundraiser. thus, a $5 donation becomes $10, $10 becomes $20, and, well,… Continue reading Donors Choose Fundraiser: Double Your Impact
SteelyKid the Builder
Because it’s been a while since I posted a cute toddler picture, and because SteelyKid actually let me shoot some pictures of her yesterday for the first time in a while. Here she is, playing with Legos: Of course, building giant towers is only half the fun of playing with Legos:
End of an Era, Countdown to a New Era
This is primarily of note to a handful of family members, but it’s the end of an era at Chateau Steelypips: Well, two eras, I suppose, for the two items of furniture. The dresser dates from around 2002, and was bought when I first moved to Schenectady, so Kate would have a place for her… Continue reading End of an Era, Countdown to a New Era

The JCC, where SteelyKid goes to preschool, is closed for Rosh Hashanah, so she’s off at Grandma and Grandpa’s for the weekend. They start doing a little more religious instruction at the preschool level, so we got to hear about Jewish theology, SteelyKid style: It’s the birthday of the world, so I’m going to Grandma… Continue reading Thursday Shana Tova Blogging 092911
Cute Toddler Story
Those of you who follow me on Twitter/ Facebook have been getting the occasional snippet of cute dialogue from SteelyKid over there. This one’s a little too long for breaking into 140-character blocks, so while I wait for her to come downstairs so we can make pancakes, a cute SteelyKid story: We play a surprising… Continue reading Cute Toddler Story
Thursday Sand Picture Blogging 091511
The current quasi-hiatus has the goal of preserving my sanity through reducing stress. Somewhat surprisingly, Thursday Toddler Blogging has actually been fairly stressful lately, because SteelyKid is mostly in a “no pictures” phase, which makes getting a usable shot of her a huge hassle. Which is why there was no toddler blogging photo last week.… Continue reading Thursday Sand Picture Blogging 091511
Another Year, Another Quasi-Hiatus
Classes for the 2011-2012 academic year start tomorrow, which means that blogging will come to a nearly complete stop. I have an exceptionally heavy teaching load this term (deliberately, because I’m developing a new course in the winter term, and FutureSibling! is due in November), and it’s become clear that there are not enough hours… Continue reading Another Year, Another Quasi-Hiatus

Our next-door neighbors are awesomely nice, and helped Kate move all the breakable stuff in the back yard out of harm’s way before the big storm this past weekend (since I left town before it was clear that Albany would get hit). as a thank-you, Kate and SteelyKid baked cookies for them. But you don’t… Continue reading Thursday Baking Blogging 090111
