I can only muster the energy to post about birthdays. Toot turned 5 last weekend. We had a party with family, pizza, a cake we made and frosted ourselves, presents, and no singing.

Some shots from a school trip to Europe when my husband was obviously extremely, extremely young. And cute. And AWOL from the cast of 21 Jump Street. See more babyDaddy here.
I watched “The Never Ending Story” with Toot this past weekend. Initially, she was disinterested - what with the main character being a boy and all. I told her there was an EMPRESS and ADVENTURE and A DRAGON - this won her interest, provisionally at least, so she settled on my lap. We got to […]

I hear this exact exchange about 100 times a day:
Kit: Toot, guess what?
Toot: What?
Kit: You’re cute.
In the most frequent variation, Toot rejoins with, “No, I’m bad.” Sometimes a violent argument over whether she is cute or bad follows. Or at least it did, until I pointed out that she could be both cute and bad. […]
We were only gone for a week, I swear! It seems that in those seven days Mr. Boy grew 5 feet and gained 100 pounds, started smoking and referring to his father by his first name. I’m sure there’s a secret motorcycle stashed somewhere.
A non sequiter: at dinner at Pearl in the MGM Grand, I […]
