Talia

Talia, uploaded 27th October, 2008.

Heather took this with her phone. It doesn't matter what I do -- her pictures are always better than mine.

Today's updates:

• 10:36 Zeke, on walking into the bathroom: "Something stinks in here. Something is FILTH."
• 15:35 Talia peed on the potty yesterday. And on the bathroom floor. Not bad for a 22-month-old.

"Don't think about your mommy"

Zeke, a few weeks ago, trying to comfort a friend on the way to school:

Don't think about your mommy. And don't think about your daddy. I'm thinking about how nice it is inside our school. And about how nice our teachers are.

Talia has learned a new skill

Sorry for the long silence. There's no especially cogent explanation -- mainly, I don't seem to have collected many very good pictures, and it's only fairly recently that I managed to get my home computer working properly again. Anyhow, though, I intend to begin again, and to show I've turned over a new leaf, here's a nice webcam photo of Talia for you. I have a camera attached to the computer at home, and I was trying to prevail on Talia to do something cute for it. Like, for example, sing. Ordinarily she seems to sing pretty much constantly, except, I guess, when you want to show her off. Her favorite song is the alphabet, but she will repeat almost anything she hears anyone else singing. Anyhow, though, this is all I could get out of her.

Today's updates:

• 21:35 Zeke does some weird acrobatic move and then says, "I learned that from my shadow."
• 21:35 Me, to Zeke: "Was Euan mean to you?" Zeke: "You and me and who?"
