Want to play a hundred?
Mom, lets play a hundred.
Hmm. I don’t know how to play that.
Oh, it’s eeeea-sy! First I say a number and then you say a number, and then the one who says the biggest is the winner.
Okay.
Now, the youngest goes first, so I go first.
Okay.

Whoa.
Yeah, that [...]

One of the truly charming things that the toddler does is to shout out when he is really enthusiastic about something. Like, “I heard it! Bird, mommy, I heard it bird!” Or, “ant! I see it ant, mommy!” (He is fascinated by ants. Maybe because they’re down at his level, easy to see by just [...]

To my dismay, the toddler does not like Stevie Wonder. I have tried a few times. I’m going to keep trying.
But he really grooves on A Tribe Called Quest. Today he really liked Lyrics to Go. Which is a nice song. And while listening to it quietly, I discovered that in addition to “more” [...]

More?
If you have a baby these days and you’re at all hip you probably know a little bit about baby signs. My baby, like other babies I’ve known (including older son), mostly uses the “more” sign, which is made by putting the tips of your hands together, as this cutie demonstrates on youtube.

So, it turns out that at least some kai animals (for instance, kai wildebeest) did not live at the time of the dinos. I am no longer sure what “kai” means. Something like “cool,” probably.
Speaking of “cool,” older son has announced that he never wants to hear the word “pretty” again. ”If you want to say something [...]

Did you ever hear of a kai wolf?
They are very fierce. They are faster than a bull or a bullet. They are faster than lizards or deer when they are running for prey.
They are stronger than a wolverine.
Nothing can kill them, because they are poisonous. Their poison is in their cubis, like roadrunner crocodiles. They store it [...]

Roadrunner crocs are mammals.
Oh?
Yes.
It’s funny that their name is crocodile then.
(pause) It’s the roadrunner part.
Well, a roadrunner is a bird, and a crocodile is a reptile, so which part exactly is the mammal part?
Their fur. (meaningful stare)
They have fur?
Yes. To keep them warm.
Oh, I remember, they are warm-blooded, too.
Yes. (pause) Let me tell you something.
Okay.
Did you ever hear [...]

Son: Mom, right now I am a roadrunner crocodile.
Mom: Oh, a bottlenose roadrunner crocodile?
Son: Yes. (Opens mouth, makes strange huffing noise while scrunching nose.) Let me tell you something.
Mom: Okay?
Son: Did you know that roadrunner crocodiles have poison?
Mom: No, I did not.
Son: Yes, they are venomous.
Mom: Oh. Is that why you did that with your [...]
