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!

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!

Ava: "These dresses are disgusting."Lulu: "Yeah, I'm getting married dressed as a ninja! Well, when I have my friendship ceremony with Daisy, we'll both be dressed as ninjas."Ava: "I'd want to wear a suit."Lulu: "A BLACK SUIT!"Ava: "Not everything has to be black, Lulu."

Backyardigans one of the few shows I tried to force them to watch and they just never went for it.
Maybe because Nick Jr showed that pirate episode 248 times in a row.

It's streaming on Amazon Prime now so we can be free of Nick Jr.'s rerun tyranny.

This morning, K: "We went in the snow, and we made snowballs, and the big house fell down, and the dog was sad"
It took me a few minutes to realize she was actually reciting the plot of "The Dog Who Stopped the War," which had been playing on the TV over the bar in the restaurant we ate in on Sunday. FWIW, *spoiler alert* the "sad" dog was actually dead.
