Ah, the busy life of a modern homeowner: making phone calls, dealing with the mail, and doing some washing up: Meanwhile, outside the house, Emmy ponders whether it would be worth the effort to huff and puff, or if trying to blow the house down would just get her scolded. This isn’t the greatest Appa-for-scale… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 070110

Uncomfortable Questions: Time Management
Back in the uncomfortable questions post, crowther asks: This is an excellent blog, but the volume of posts leaves me with a mixture of envy and annoyance (to be unnecessarily honest, perhaps). How in the world do you find the time to do so much blogging and reading of others’ blogs? Aren’t you supposed to… Continue reading Uncomfortable Questions: Time Management
Hold On to Your Hat…
… because SteelyKid is a baby on the move, and she moves fast: SteelyKid spent a long weekend with Kate’s mom, and we went down there yesterday to pick her up. This picture, snapped during a playground visit this morning, gives you some idea of her energy level. Accordingly, Kate and I are both exhausted.… Continue reading Hold On to Your Hat…
Culinary Questions: Best and Worst Foods?
A couple of related items from the uncomfortable questions comments. First, from Elizabeth: What’s your favorite homemade supper? What is your favorite thing to cook? then a bit later from CCPhysicist: What is the WORST thing that Kate ever cooked? What was your own worst cooking disaster? This is a tough question, because I like… Continue reading Culinary Questions: Best and Worst Foods?
Thursday Absent Baby Blogging
SteelyKid is spending a long weekend with Kate’s mother, so we are baby-less. Which means no Appa-for-scale picture this week, alas. Since I know some of you would freak out without the weekly cute-baby photo, though, here’s another shot from the backyard playhouse: As you can tell, Kate has an ever-so-slightly easier time fitting into… Continue reading Thursday Absent Baby Blogging
Ask Me Uncomfortable Questions
I’m seriously lacking in bloggy inspiration at the moment. So we’ll fall back on something that has worked a couple of times in the past: Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don’t blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don’t blog about, but you’d… Continue reading Ask Me Uncomfortable Questions
Chateau SteelyKid
I’ve made a few oblique references to home improvement projects over the last week or so. These weren’t for our house, but for SteelyKid’s– Kate’s mom got her a playhouse for Christmas, which we finally got around to installing in the back yard. SteelyKid has taken right to home ownership: Don’t let her studied cool… Continue reading Chateau SteelyKid
That’s Our Baby!
Friday was the last day of the school year hereabouts, so SteelyKid’s day care had an end-of-year ceremony for all the preschool classes, which included her group (“Waddlers,” which are between “Infants” and “Toddlers”). They gave certificates to all the kids, for a variety of different things. Here’s a picture of SteelyKid’s certificate: I have… Continue reading That’s Our Baby!
How to Teach Physics to Your Dog: Signing Tomorrow
Today is my birthday– my age in dog years is now equal to the freezing point of water in Kelvin (to three significant figures). I’m celebrating by not reading anything that might piss me off, and by spending the day at home watching soccer (about which more later) and getting some stuff done around the… Continue reading How to Teach Physics to Your Dog: Signing Tomorrow
Thursday Baby Blogging 061710
No elaborate pose this week, just simple, classic Baby Blogging: A few months back, her weight had failed to increase as quickly as expected, so she had a couple of weight-check appointments scheduled. The latest was this week, when it was discovered that she had gained about three pounds since the last check-up (the proportional… Continue reading Thursday Baby Blogging 061710
