We didn’t do a Christmas tree last year, because we figured SteelyKid wasn’t yet old enough to be safe around it. We put one up this year, though, and she’s been very grown-up and careful around it, so all is well. The return of the Chateau Steelypips Christmas tree means I can also revive a… Continue reading Science on the Tree 2010: Extrasolar Planets

SteelyKid has started to demonstrate a real flair for decoration, which she proudly shows off here: That’s Appa decked out with the three bead necklaces we have for SteelyKid to play with. She tends to take the longest one, the white beads, and wrap it behind her so she has one loop over each arm.… Continue reading Thursday Makeover Blogging 121610
Person of the Year, 2010
I’m very pleased to announce that the Uncertain Principles Person of the Year for 2010 is… SteelyKid: Why do I say this? Well… First, as lots of people will tell you, we’re all citizen journalists now. Which means that I’m every bit as entitled to declare a person of the year as Time magazine is.… Continue reading Person of the Year, 2010

SteelyKid is off spending a weekend at Grandma and Grandpa’s, so this week’s picture was actually taken early Wednesday morning: The early hour accounts for both the pacifier (she wasn’t willing to give it up yet) and the frizzy hair (bed-head toddler!). I’m pretty sure she hasn’t grown measurably since yesterday, though. This photo is… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 120910

Today is the official release date for the paperback edition of How to Teach Physics to Your Dog, so I wanted to write up something cool about quantum physics to mark the occasion. I looked around the house for inspiration, and most of what we have lying around the house is SteelyKid’s toys. Thus, I… Continue reading Teleportation of Toddler Toys

Today is Thanksgiving, and while we’re not doing the full glutton thing until Saturday (it’s more convenient for family members to travel up here then), it’s still a good time to reflect on the things we’re thankful for. Right at the top of the list, of course, is SteelyKid, who is bright, curious, generally cheerful,… Continue reading Thankful Toddler Blogging 112510

Fashion’s been on our minds this week, what with the whole Rock Stars of Science thing rolling out yesterday, so this week we have SteelyKid modeling the latest in toddler headgear: This was the culmination of a game that started with her putting her napkin on her head, and declaring it a hat. We moved… Continue reading Thursday Toddler Blogging 111810
Bonus Autumnal Toddler Blogging
We had freakishly good weather today, so I went outside to get some raking done. SteelyKid came out with me to help: We also got some video of the Dinosaur Leaf Attack game we were playing, but YouTube is struggling with the file for some reason or another, so I can’t post that. The important… Continue reading Bonus Autumnal Toddler Blogging
