Almost-Six-Weeks Stats; Neville

Andy — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 19:51:01 +0000

For Naomi, of course. She’s now 9 lbs, 15 oz. Wow! That’s 12 oz. in just the past week. Go girl!

In Isaac news, he’s created a brand-new imaginary friend, as of yesterday morning. His name is Neville (Neville is also a Thomas & Friends character), and he’s “my black friend.” Note: Neville the train happens to be painted black, too. (As an aside, here’s a recent article about imaginary friends and child development.)

Strangely, I think, for an imaginary friend, Neville needs to “come over” from “his house” in order to play; we’re trying to convince Isaac that he can have Neville over whenever he wants, but that Mommy and Daddy can’t see him. This may take some time, but it’s pretty fascinating.

A New Nation for Our Children

It is difficult to express the joy I feel that our children will get to grow up in a nation led by President Barack Obama. They will know a world very different from what I knew, and it looks like it will be, in many ways, a better one.

For a while, I wasn’t sure about that. But I am now.

Too Scary to Eat

“His teeth are so scary I can’t eat those teeth.”

–Isaac, commenting on some Finding Nemo gummy fruit snacks, especially the one shaped like Bruce the Shark.

A few changes

Wow, so Naomi is three weeks old today! Fittingly, it’s taken this long to make a few changes to the site, reflecting the fact there there are now TWO children in the house. Eventually, Dad will be able to shift over to a URL that’s more reflective of that as well, but that requires slightly more forethought, coordination, and passwords than he has at hand at the moment.

A title change, theme change, and the addition of a Naomi-centric badge will have to do for now. A few tweaks more, and we’ll have this year’s “jumping in the leaves” pics and movies posted…

A few words on development

TV: Little Bear enhances preschoolers’ social and interpersonal skills.

Mommy: Isaac, do you have interpersonal skills?

Isaac: No, I don’t. But Little Bear does.

Happy Birthday Daddy!
