Ha! Very wise.
I've found that being prideful about any material possessions (including the clothes you are wearing) is generally incompatible with the yogurt-and-applesauce-covered whirlwind of destruction that is my darling Ivy.

The clothes I am wearing, that is, although if you come within range, the clothes you are wearing are fair game, too.
great photos as usual! here's this six year old on her first day of first grade...https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CMxwepQUwAAA_Fd.png

She looks into it. How did it go?
― carl agatha, Friday, 4 September 2015 14:45 (ten years ago)
been a couple weeks now -- she has complained a little bit about "all the work" but I think that is just that summer feeling lingering... only real issue is that she is in a different class than most of her friends from kindergarten. but hopefully some new friendships will develop.

A good friends 5yo did that thing this year of loving their first day at school, but then being genuinely appalled at the idea they had to go back again the next day

Sometimes squid that you eat has ink in it?
(I do'nt eat much squid beyond the occasional calamari.)
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 8 September 2015 18:57 (ten years ago)
apparently! I don't eat squid at all tbh, but my other half wasn't too worried about it!
― fund metal health (stevie), Tuesday, 8 September 2015 20:57 (ten years ago)
I admit I'm a little skeeved out by the whole ink thing but I am often skeeved out by seafood in general.
Marin looks delightfully devilish in that picture, btw.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 8 September 2015 21:01 (ten years ago)
thanks! she has a zorro thing going on imo
she also ate a whole thing of french fries and about a gallon of ketchup. I'm not going to lie, I was pretty proud.

First day of school, down the ages...
(In 2008-09, Lulu was there for moral support; in 2010 she was in Nursery while Ava started Year 1 proper).

Isolde loves lemons:

(this one had already been juiced and soaked in lemonade)
― sleeve, Wednesday, 23 September 2015 17:08 (ten years ago)
lemons! marin likes a lemon too...
― please don't shampoo your eyes (stevie), Wednesday, 23 September 2015 17:21 (ten years ago)
So does Ivy! And limes and sour pickles and pickled onions and raw onions (she can be a very stinky child).
Isolde <3
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 23 September 2015 17:58 (ten years ago)
am am inordinately proud of the fact that she was able to point at it in my cup and manage to enunciate something very close to "lemon" to indicate her desire <3

When fiddling with her little Vox mini-amp, she asked us "so, would Mary Timony use flanger or chorus?" Hey, let's learn some chords first...
― Michael Jones, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 13:44 (ten years ago)
Flanger, imo. That's awesome! Is the Vox a Pathfinder?
― how's life, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 13:56 (ten years ago)
It's a MINI-3 G2 CL, with some modelling modes. Got to think of the neighbours! Ava already has her drumkit...
