When I told her it was Thursday, and thus time for a picture with Appa, SteelyKid sprang into action with a very definite idea of what she wanted. As a result, there’s a lot going on in this week’s Toddler Blogging photos: This is my favorite, which was an intermediate step on the way to… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 030311

We’re having our umpteenth winter storm here, which means everybody has to work at clearning snow away. And I do mean everybody: OK, I did most of the work of clearing a path to the door, but SteelyKid insisted on helping sweep some snow up with her little broom afterwards. The color’s a little wonky… Continue reading Belated Snowy Toddler Blogging

Look, sir, look, sir, Mr. Knox sir! Let’s do tricks with bricks and blocks, sir! — Dr. Seuss Sadly, the only trick SteelyKid has really mastered with bricks and blocks is piling them into a gigantic obstacle in the middle of the floor.

So, here’s SteelyKid before going off to day care this morning: (Photo credit: Kate) She’s been more than 0.5 Kate in height for a good long while, but now she’s coming up on half a me.… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 012711

Unfortunately, the middle one included a good deal of ice, so we now have a thick layer of snow, covered by a half-inch of ice, with another several inches of snow on top of that. Which makes getting around quite the chore. However,… Continue reading Fun in the Snow

There have been a bunch of times in the last couple of weeks where it was brought home how big SteelyKid has gotten compared to Kate, so this week, we have a Mommy-for-scale photo: The stylish headband SteelyKid is sporting is from today’s Tu B’Shevat celebration at the Jewish Community Center, where she goes to… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 012011

It’s really flattering when your kids start to imitate you: This is SteelyKid playing with the toy laptop she got for Christmas in her basement kitchen. Sadly, not only is she imitating her father’s computer-addict tendencies, she’s also copying my poor laptop-using posture. We’ll have to work on that.
