Ella usually calls me Daddy, but somehow has decided that when I'm not doing what she wants, she should call me by my first name. "Pick me up, Daddy!" "Hang on, just let me put this fire out...""Pick me UP, JAMES!"

K just looked at me from her bed and whispered "I will be born."

One time when our oldest was like 4 or 5, he was explaining something to me. I don't remember what he was talking about, something simple, concrete, real. But at the end he qualifies it with "...it this world." Like as if to distinguish it from the other realms of time and space of which we're both perfectly aware.

Before she could actually talk, Ella would look up from her cot, stare at us and clearly say "Death!"

I take Kto a Jewish preschool.
This morning in the hallway she pointed to my bag and said "That's daddy's lunch" and I said, "that's right." And she yells, "It's pork! It's pork!"

Yeah it was really uncomfortable for me in context too, because we've realized the place is too religious for us but we want to keep our daughter there until kindergarten because it's by far the best preschool we've found.

This is not at all darndest, but this is probably the only audience I can subject to this story. Last night when F woke up I rocked him and soothed him, even though he would really rather just have played. He finally became drowsy again and I put him down to sleep.
When I went to leave the room, he said sadly "dad, dad, dad?", which is the first time he's done anything like that. Heartbreaking!

that has your son's full name and your home address on it, you might want to take it down or have mods do it -- you could repost a redacted version

my friend posted a vid of her little one (who is 5) and he's an old soul. and he's talkin passionately about paddleboarding and he says, excitedly "every single day....every single day that you will let me paddle board, well I'M GOIN FOR IT!" as his face changes to that of determined intensity and he pumps his fist.
it was the most adorable thing ever.

I mean it is not a total mystery. She was watching The Backyardigans with Jeff and digging a song about treasure and she said treasure. Then she repeated it tonight to me at Jeff's prompting. But still. Not book, bath, cup, shoe, bus, dance, "Slow down, asshole!" or any of the words she hears a million times a day. No. She said "treasure."

That's great. I miss our Backyardigans days. I'm hoping for a revival someday before she's too old to enjoy it.
― how's life, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 14:43 (nine years ago) link
I love that show. Jeff and I would sometimes watch it during a brief time in about 2005 when we had cable, and we even bought a CD (lol) of the music. I realized last night that my desire to have a kid pretty much coincided with those initial Backyardigans viewings. So thanks Pablo, Tyrone, Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin!
