Earlier tonight, I was sitting at my computer, and SteelyKid came running over. “Let’s go to Israel. Pretend Israel.” she said in a conspiratorial whisper. “Why are you whispering?” I asked. “Do we have to whisper in pretend Israel?” “Yes,” she replied immediately. “Because there are bears.” The origin of this odd conversation was today’s… Continue reading Thursday Holy Land Blogging 051911

Tonight’s Toddler Blogging features SteelyKid taking a picture of me taking a picture of her, while Appa does the forced perspective thing again: The “camera” in this case is the salt shaker that came with her kitchen playset. Which is a versatile object, serving also as a drinking cup:

SteelyKid would like to remind everybody that sometimes you just need to kick back on the couch, eat some snacks, and watch tv: In her case, that means watching the same episode of Good Eats over and over and over… Other times, of course, you need to get out and feel the wind in your… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 032411

SteelyKid is actually at Grandma and Grandpa’s this week, having a ball, and freeing Kate from having to do solo toddler duty for the days that I’m traveling. As a result, you get some week-old pics (though if Grandma and Grandpa send us a picture from this week, I’ll post it). Here we have an… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 031711
