My daughters are incredible artists.

I'm not just saying this because I'm their mother.

Well, maybe I am.

But whatev.

They're fly.

Creative little buggers, the two of them.

They get it from their mama. And their daddy, too.

Sometimes They Just Don’t Want To

Wanda’s 9 months old and she still can’t put any weight on her legs. While other babies her age are walking around wreaking havoc, she’s content to cause trouble on the down low, crawling along like an inch-worm. At six months I wasn’t worried. Each baby develops at her own pace. But at nine months this struck me as odd.

Birth Control

We must be masochists because we had a giant sleepover this weekend with my brother’s three kids -- Koby, 10; Joe, 8; and Emma, 5. When I tell you they adore Preston, I mean they are borderline obsessed with him to the point of playing regular games of tug-of-war with his limbs until he rips into three equal parts, and that’s when they stop arguing over who gets to sit next to him at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

All Day Sucka

Smash is dead.

An African Dwarf frog brought by Santa Claus as a Christmas present to Lila after mucho begging and a spate of good behavior, Smash croaked overnight after surviving a considerably long time without his dried shrimp pellets. He is survived by his bamboo plant and neon purple living rocks, which, btw, were supposed to keep him alive in case errant 8-year-olds lost interest in their easy-to-care-for pets and stopped, like, giving a crap about them.

I saw this coming back in April, when I asked Lila how Smash was faring.
