Baby Notes
From the baby file:
- Dora is like crack. I don’t know what it is about that cartoon, but even a sixteen month old can get quickly hooked. All she has to do is see the laptop, and Vered yells: DORA. Walking down the aisle at Toys R Us, we made the mistake to enter the Dora aisle.
- Elmo is like crack too. See above.
- A baby who drinks too much milk gets constipated. Sometimes, she scrunches up. When you are taking her out of the bath, that is the worst time for her to scrunch. A grapefruit size turd fell into the water last night when I pulled her out.
- Vered likes to play “cheers.” Your glass and her cup clink. Cheers!
- Everything used to be “kitty.” Now everything is “puppy.”
- She has more phones than most families. Digital literacy at this age is the knowledge regarding how to push buttons.
- “Oh man,” is a new favorite saying.
Ah, memories. I recall Will, when younger than Vered is now I believe, used to respond to the music mobile over his crib as crack. Now he sits around and plays online video games like Runequest, a sort of middle school geeky boy crack.
Just as long as he stays off the real crack….

Rowan’s hitting the Wiggles pipe really hard lately. And everything here is either “ki(t)-E” or “DOOOUG.” She almost sounds mad when she says the latter, for whatever reason she can’t get a D out without almost yelling.

“Can I watch Dora for just a little bit?”
“Daddy, do you want to watch Dora?”
“Oh. DORA!!!!!!”

Paul is such a luddite. He’ll only occasionally watch Saturday morning cartoons, and then he’s not too interested. Airplanes are his crack. Airplanes? Airplanes! Airplane go bye-bye. Airplane book!

I have a huge fear of tub baby poop. Your story unnerves me.
