@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

At five in the morning?  Any of you parents of new babies want to weigh in on this one?  Or are you too sleep-deprived to be reading the messageboard?

Onstad's kid is what, approaching 2? It's tough to let the kid have the ABILITY to wander the house unattended at that age - it could just as easily be " the baby got up at 5 am to wander to the utility closet and eat drain cleaner" or something. But if she's potty trained, you have to let her get to the bathroom....

Good age to get the toddler bed; also a good age to get a good gate for the doorway to her room.

When my oldest was 2, she would wake up at the crack of dawn (like 4:30 am in the mid summer in Chicago), stand at the gate and announce "Mommy Daddy get up! Lights are on outside!". Our doors were right next to each other in that house. Later, when she was potty trained and we had to remove the gate so she could get to the bathroom, she came into our room to announce daybreak. Almost every day.

My sister was the family rooster for awhile too. No fun at all.

It's a good thing we're genetically driven to think they're the cutest things around, or we'd have been an evolutionary dead end millennia ago.

I must be some kind of mu-tant or something then, because I don't think babies are cute at all.

You're not the only one.  To me they all look like encephalitic James Cagneys.

No, not really, I really like the drooling, incontinent little ones.

I hear when they're actually yours, they're cuter. I hope so anyway. I like kids and all, I just usually prefer to admire them from a distance, or at least play with them until they're cranky, then give them back to their owners.

Well sure.  I mean most people don't want to think that they went through nine months of hell only to find out that the result (and sometimes by extension, they themselves) is undeniably horrifying.  That's why I am there.. to tell them.


at least I was until they kicked me out of the newborn ward down at the hospital.

Current toddler status, 7/31: Are you the kind of dad that gets embarrassed when his toddler sees him naked, or just clothed? Because I’m both.

Current toddler status, 8/2: She had her first personal restaurant dish today, instead of sharing off of our plates. It was penne with butter. It was three dollars. Fifteen dollar ravioli had nothing on it.

I had a dream that I was Teodor, and I was cooking a pasta dish for my friends.

and then they killed me by throwing a forklift at me. when the forklift missed, they pulled on a special chain attached to the lift part, and the forklift flew back to them, decapitating me.

that dream was funny, but made me want some pasta.

also, the rest of the dream involved discovering that my favorite TV show was somehow involved in kiddy porn, regular porn, and the fact that I was being attacked by a forklift.

Current toddler status, 8/3: She walked straight to bed from the couch where we have bedtime stories, and climbed in! Next thing you know she will drive a car to college and marry a man named Clue Bucket. I do not miss the future.

Even the Baby is subject to revision, it seems.
