Pre-K Jargon File
About a year ago, my wife and I were in the midst of watching the classic Stephen Fry/Hugh Laurie-helmed Jeeves and Wooster and we were allowing our kids to watch it along with us. We had been watching episodes each evening and the kids were keeping up well, though one night my at-the-time 2-year-old daughter…

Scenes From A Preschooler’s Bedtime
Dialog, almost verbatim, from last night’s bedtime ritual: Me: [Having just read the story of Moses getting the Ten Commandments from God] What did God tell Moses to tell the people? Will: … Me: He said “Do not…”? Will: Kill! Me: And “Do not…” Will: … My Wife: [Suggesting helpfully] “Do not st…” Will: Steve!…

Pray For My Little Girl Again
We’ve been through this before, but I’m asking again: pray for my little girl. She woke up ~2:30am this morning with a fierce, barking cough.

Do They Give Out “Toddler Purple Hearts”?
In what is sure to be a preview of things to come, Saturday ended up being a long, long day for the whole family. We supped at friends’ in the early evening and as the night wore on, Will, as is his wont, began to go a little, well, “toddler nuts”, if I may coin…

Wha? Who? Huh? Sooooo… Busy. Oh, Happy Second Birthday, Son!
No, no one died, nor was I injured in some catastrophic accident and yes, my fingers still work. My reason[s] for not posting in well-nigh a week (the longest stretch without a post in a long, long time)? My boy turned two last Wednesday and it has been Le Crazee ever since. This week o’…
