Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
He's BatMac!
Such a smile, that one.
Not to mention Josh Hartnett and Ryan Phillippe! I need to buy a pink glitter pen. And you know, I don't think the "Invisible World" special that aired on Fuse is ever going to be deleted from my TiVo because it is PRECIOUS.
Clearly, I must see this.
I've switched to Patrick interviews now for balance.
I haven't been great about sharing mac pics - here are some including Halloween costume:
I LOVE the one of him in the middle of the Serious Girls in Pink! Adorable!
Mac's smile is amazing.
Boy loves his capes! And his action figures!
I kept thinking "oh, I love the series of.." and came to the conclusion that it was all of them. Except the surgery ones. That made go OW POOR NOODLE.
Clearly, I must see this.
You really, really do.
Experiments you can conduct on your baby:
How do children learn to count?
How do children learn to count? You could imagine that numbers are words, and children learn them like any other word. (Actually, this wouldn't help much, since we still don't really understand how children learn words, but it would neatly deflect the question.) However, it turns out that children learn to count in a bizarre fashion quite unlike how they learn about other words.
If you have a baby and a few years to spend, you can try this experiment at home. Every day, show you baby a bowl of marbles and ask her to give you one. Wait until your baby can do this. This actually takes some time, during which you'll either get nothing or maybe a handful of marbles.
Then, one day, between 24 and 30 months of age, your toddler will hand you a single marble. But ask for 2 marbles or 3 marbles, etc., your toddler will give you a handful. The number of marbles won't be systematically larger if you ask for 10 than if you ask for 2. This is particularly odd, because because by this age the child typically can recite the count list ("one, two, three, four...").
Keep trying this, and within 6-9 months, the child will start giving you 2 marbles when asked for, but still give a random handful when asked for 3 or 4 or 5, etc. Wait a bit longer, and the child will manage to give you 1, 2 or 3 when asked, but still fail for numbers greater than 3.
This doesn't continue forever, though. At around 3 years old, children suddenly are able to succeed when asked for any set of numbers. They can truly count.
msbelle, you have such a handsome little boy, and what a smile!
Man, that is one cute kid.
Such a gorgeous smile on Mac!! You'll have to swat the girls offf with a broom in a few years.
I'd rather look at kill-me-ded-with-teh-cute pics than tempt myself with things I really shouldn't be buying before I do my Christmas shopping. I made the mistake of googling Waterford Christmas ornaments (which I have a very small collection of) and found one I really really want, and a few that I'd love as well.
Experiments you can conduct on your babyMy sister should totally give me one of the twins. I want to try this and she's got a spare.
