At Carraba’s. Silly girl.

Clothes + Dryer + Crayon + Time =

Well, I can’t say it any better than might Zoe:

THIS IS NOT GOOD!

Out of the Mouths of Babes

Or toddlers.

“Why is God just a god?”

Well. Where to start?

Actually, Voltaire came to mind immediately: “If God did not exist, it would be neccessary to invent Him.” But I didn’t even want to get started.

An observation

“Peanut butter cookies,” Emma said.

Are yummy? I thought, in that inner, silent, I know what she’s going to say voice full of wisdom, and knowledge.

“Taste like peanut butter!” she finished.

“That is just one of their many charms,” I informed her, somewhat chastised.

Site News

I’ve run through a number of updates recently, from WordPress MU 1.2.1 to 1.3 to a “release candidate” version of 1.5, to 1.5.1 proper, to a brand new install to fix some admin issues I was having.

Of course, I managed to blow away the former site header, which gave me a good excuse to post a new one.

And now maybe I’ll start using tags rather than categories. We’ll see. Wheee!

Emma Sings

Emma was sitting in a chair with her
Golden Book of Children’s Hymns the other day…

…and she was “singing”

Emma Sings “A Hundred World of Songs”

We learn something new every day!

Whups. Found this post just hanging out in limbo. It’s from a couple of weeks ago:

Emma says to me today: “Poop starts with the letter P!”

Niiiiiiiiice.

Interesting Precedent

We’ve been using the reward [1] system to get her to to eat her vegetables.

You know; “Emma, eat your vegetables, and you can have some [insert desert here].”

It often works, but the payoff isn’t apparently great enough for her to finish her spinach or asparagus.

This evening, she finished her peas, and then horked down all of her fudge, and half of Margaret’s. So I told her that since she ate all her fudge, she could have some broccoli!

Amazingly, she went for it, and actually ate the broccoli.

Strange.

Yeah, I know. Another word for it is “extortion” or “bribery.” Though I prefer “direct compensation.”

Site Upgrades

I upgraded the site from WordPress MU 1.2.1 to 1.3. If anything’s broken, that’s why. It’s probably because I haven’t updated a plugin.
