The subject of the “spin” of the electron comes up again and again, so as pointed out in a comment, I really ought to do a post explaining what it is and how it works. As a bonus, this gives me the opportunity to do the dorkiest thing anyone has ever done with a cute-toddler… Continue reading Electron Spin for Toddlers

After a hard day of toddling, sometimes you just need to kick back on the couch with your sky-bison, and munch on a fruit strip: You know what I mean?
Bonus Toddler Blogging: Balloon Basketball
SteelyKid has clearly inherited her father’s fondness for basketball. Unfortunately, she doesn’t quite understand how to play, yet. She does know that involves throwing a ball up in the air and jumping, though: She’ll get the rest of it eventually.
Thursday Toddler Blogging 071510
We’ve been doing weekly Baby Blogging (now Toddler Blogging) for a long time now– this is week 101– but it occurs to me that we’ve been shortchanging someone in all these pictures: Appa. He is, after all, a sky-bison, so it’s about time we got a picture of him in flight: SteelyKid says “I could… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 071510
Thursday 3D Toddler Blogging 070810
I got sufficiently engrossed in writing a ResearchBlogging post for tomorrow that I almost forgot today’s Toddler Blogging. To make up for it, though, today’s post is using those three-dimensional effects that are all the rage these days: Look out! There’s a ball coming right at you! What’s that? The 3D isn’t working? Are you… Continue reading Thursday 3D Toddler Blogging 070810
Nostalgia Isn’t What It Used to Be
SteelyKid has some molars coming in, which led to some intermittent generalized fussiness this weekend. When she gets that way, she can sometimes be calmed down using videos on the computer, such as the “Wheels on the Buss” DVD my mom has. In order to spare the sanity of the adults in her life, though,… Continue reading Nostalgia Isn’t What It Used to Be
Thursday Toddler Blogging 070110
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
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…
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
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
