ION, I'm just back from Matilda's two year old check up.

She's 24 lbs and 33 inches, so about 15 percentile for height and weight. She is "beautifully proportioned" and speaking way over her age level. In fact, she's the most articulate two year old in his practice. (She can say five or six word sentences and have a conversation with you.)

Everything went swimmingly until the flu shot. But she was appeased with a bagel with cream cheese, JZ snuck off without causing a separation anxiety stir, and Matilda's now at daycare where she can sleep off her shot (I hope).

The answer I want is WHY is that book out of print? It's a travesty.

Sinbad's usually not too hard to find, but the sequels are rare and expensive.

Sally’s parents wondered if she might be a lesbian.

Nnnooooooo! Why must all my childhood crushes turn out to be lesbians?

Signed, still not over Zelda Gilroy....

Sinbad's usualy not too hard to find, but the sequels are rare and expensive.

WHERE? I don't care about the sequels. Never actually read anything but the original.

That's some good people-making, Hec and JZ.

And I'm still searching for a copy of Sinbad & Me.

Ah! The book that turned me on to architecture! I adore that book! I think I have a paperback of it in the garage.

Oh, I clicked on that link excited, thinking I might see that one of the children books here, named very similarly, is this.

But no.

We have Danny Din, the invisible kid.

Seriously connie, I would buy it off you. Or name a beloved pet, or something.

(She can say five or six word sentences and have a conversation with you.)

When I visited last year, when she was at 15 months, she wanted to have conversations too. Except that she could only make babble noises.

Clearly, you need to come back, Tom.
