A couple of cell-phone pictures from last weekend, on an early-evening run to one of the local playgrounds. The sun was pretty well down when SteelyKid decided she wanted to climb on the giant rope climbing structure they have. she’s gone on this before, but it’s never lasted long, so we figured, why not? (It’s… Continue reading Thursday Terrified Parent Blogging 102711

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

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:

The JCC, where SteelyKid goes to preschool, is closed for Rosh Hashanah, so she’s off at Grandma and Grandpa’s for the weekend.

But you don’t… Continue reading Thursday Baking Blogging 090111

SteelyKid has recently discovered the game hide-and-seek. Shhh! She’s hiding right now. Can you guess where she is? You can’t tell from the picture, of course, but just in case it wasn’t obvious where she’s hiding, she usually calls out when you get kind of close. Or even jumps out of her hiding place yelling… Continue reading Thursday Unclear on the Concept Blogging 082511

For this week’s Toddler Blogging, here’s a dad’s eye view of one of today’s playground activities: walking the 4×4 border on the sand playground as if it was a balance beam. She doesn’t actually need to hold my hand to walk this, but it makes her happier. I snapped that with my phone, expecting her… Continue reading Thursday Balance Blogging
