Older son: Once upon a time, in a world of butts, there was a boy who was made out of butts. And everything in that world was made out of butts. The houses were made out of butts. The sun was made out of butts. The snow was made out of butts. (pause here for [...]

So. The boys are about to go meet their grandmother and auntie, who are visiting from far away and who they don’t get to see very often. I thought it would be nice to make cards for them, so we did that little art project this morning.
Unfortunately, older son is absolutely obsessed with the words [...]

Something funny has happened. The toddler is enaging in the Shriek more than ever. But he’s realized that people hate it, that it is not nice for others’ ears. So he says “sah-wee” (sorry) afterwards, sometimes.
Well, until the last few days. Now he is saying sorry a LOT. And sometimes he seems to shriek just [...]

Son: Mom! When we move to a new place, let’s get one with a fireplace.
Me: Oh, yes, I love fireplaces, that would be so nice.
Son: I know!
Me: Like at Bapa’s house, we’d be so warm and cozy. Just think.
Son: Yes. And I can burn things.

The Shriek
As mentioned this summer, the toddler has a heckuva shriek. The newest development is that he is very aware of how his high-pitched shriek gets everyone’s attention and, in fact, is impossible to ignore, since it makes you cower, cover your ears, and look around nervously at glass to see if it is breaking. And, [...]

Pirate music
Wow! I was going to post this morning to say that older son still loves to listen to Modest Mouse’s song Dashboard for ten or fifteen minutes every morning, running around wildly, acting like a pirate in some kind of battle. He calls it the pirate song.
Turns out, he’s been doing that for almost a year now! How [...]

Housecleaning with a toddler
I am trying to tidy my house this morning. I was aware that the toddler was trying to feed the dog–I had seen him take the empty dry-dog-food scoop and pretend to be pouring food in the bowl.
I just realized that he has progressed to squirreling a handful of dry dog food out of [...]

Quack quack
The toddler is really, really trying to talk. He says quite a few little words now, including these:
uhoh
more
up
mama
dada
dog
ba (for bottle)
Actually, these mostly sound like grunts rather than the correct pronunciation, but once you get used to his “accent,” you can make out these words among the constant stream of grunts. He holds a little conversation [...]
