Kristin and ND, at this point.

Maybe I'll call them. Just to be, ya know, mean.

Okay what LA-istas aren't up at this point?

I want back to sleep, but I am pretty sure I was up by the time you posted this. I wish I hadn't gone back to sleep, actually, because I only got an hour's worth and yet I still feel all muzzy headed, like I slept too much.

Oh well, at least there is coffee now.

I'm guessing Allyson is still in bed.

I'm up, if we are having roll call. So are the kids.

Kat, I was going to say London because I love that city oh so much, but I think Robin just won me over to Brussels with her talk of fancy chocolate shops.

So here's my cute kid story for the morning. Both babies are in the play pen. I hear a definite BONK and then Isaac is crying. Well, it takes a little while to get the story out of Franny, but finally she answers my questions thusly:

"Did Isaac get hit?" "yes"

"What hit him?" (Points to a toy Isaac was playing with) "that"

"Who hit him?" "me"

I love it that she can't lie yet. I know it's a big developmental milestone when they learn to lie, but I am loving this pre-lying phase.

I don't have to shower just to go get a bagel, do I?

Thanks, Trudy. If I had thought of it for a second, I would have probably figured out whom you were talking about.

I feel much better

Oh, that's great to read.

it is so much fun exploring the world of tea! I get to try new ones

Oh, which ones do you like? I'm always looking for new yummy teas, because so many kinds immediately make me feel like "something you should drink when you're having a cold".

Polgara!

Burrell!

Exclamation points! I hadn't posted with eitehr of you for a little forever, at least!

[Edit: Perkins, no.

I love it that she can't lie yet.

One of my mom's favorite stories regarding Franny-age-me is about how once, when I threw away some toy and was caught, I said: "I didn't throw it. I just put it down far away".]

Thanks, Trudy. If I had thought of it for a second, I would have probably figured out whom you were talking about.

No one should feel obligated to figure out my bizarre misspellings-- particularly when english is their second or third language.

Hiya Nilly!

Merlin has the same name in Hebrew, for the record. But thanks for trying to make me feel nice.

Burrell! Did you see the pictures Perkins posted from the LA F2F? There'e a nice one with you and ita, in which your hair was short and even Franny wasn't born yet.

Why do babies HATE having their noses wiped and faces washed?
