While I was editing and posting the pictures for last night’s family blogging, SteelyKid came in and said “Daddy, we watched [indistinct name] today, and they created their own story on the show. But I don’t know how to do that.” “Sure you do, honey,” I said. “You create stories all the time. You were… Continue reading Story by SteelyKid

Thursday Family Blogging 031512
Yesterday was “Pi Day” (3-14, in the American style of writing dates), and while I personally find it kind of silly, The Pip took it to heart, using it as the occasion for his first rotation of π radians about his long axis. That is, he rolled from his back onto his stomach. Which is… Continue reading Thursday Family Blogging 031512
Friday Baby Blogging
I had planned to catch up on blogging a bunch of things this afternoon, but I decided I needed a nap more than I needed to pump up the blog traffic. So, here’s a cute-baby picture to make up for it: This is The Pip, trying to figure out what’s up with the little dude… Continue reading Friday Baby Blogging
Modern Parenting: A Snapshot
I’m driving down back roads through Niskayuna and Colonie, making a big pointless circle. Because we had a slightly rough morning, and I don’t want to wake up The Pip, who fell asleep in his car seat on the way home from lunch: And every time we come to a stop sign or red light,… Continue reading Modern Parenting: A Snapshot
Bonsoir, Baboon
One of SteelyKid’s favorite bedtimes reads is Good Night, Gorilla, which is very short and mostly pictures. We’ve read it about a million times, so to mix things up (and further my goal of convincing her that I’m a blithering idiot), I’ll give it different titles when I hold it up before reading it. She… Continue reading Bonsoir, Baboon
Syncretic Pre-Schooler Blogging
We send SteelyKid to preschool at the Jewish Community Center in Schenectady, because when we looked at day care programs back in the day, they had the one we liked best. This is a mixed blessing in a number of ways– they close for a lot of religious holidays when nothing else closes, creating some… Continue reading Syncretic Pre-Schooler Blogging
How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog: Photoshop Contest
It’s now officially February, and the release date for How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog is only a few weeks off– the official release date is Feb. 28. Of course, I’ve got a copy already: If you would like a copy of your very own, you can either wait until the release, or take… Continue reading How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog: Photoshop Contest
Baby Blogging Backlog
I’ve been really bad about documenting The Pip’s growth here. The annoying thing is, I’ve actually taken pictures of him over the last couple of weeks, but I’ve been too busy to edit and post them. If there’s one thing transcontinental flights are good for, though, it’s providing you with time to do stuff like… Continue reading Baby Blogging Backlog
Weekend Family Blogging
Lots of people ask how SteelyKid is taking to having a younger sibling. Well, judge for yourself: This is during the Giants-Falcons playoff game this afternoon, but it’s pretty typical. When both SteelyKid and The Pip are home, she’s always running over to give him kisses and hugs and chatter at him. She’s super excited… Continue reading Weekend Family Blogging
Baby Formulae
One of The Pip’s Christmas presents simply demands to be shown off here: This is a baby blanket knitted by his awesome Aunt Anastasia, with three physics equations on it. They’re subtle, but if you look closely, you can read them: E=mc2, V=IR, and F=ma. All the other babies will be jealous of his knowledge… Continue reading Baby Formulae
