Oh, Kat. We lived through No Nap Hell yesterday. My condolences. The peeing, the growling, and the toy up the nose are each more than enough to deal with all alone; no fair of Noah, piling them all on in a single afternoon.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The upside is it makes me laugh, which is precisely why he does these things. The growling is not done in anger but to get a laugh out of me.
The peeing and diaper thing? It was hysterical. Less so when I had to change my socks and pants and clean the floor and do another load of laundry.
K just took him out. He wouldn't nap earlier so we went to the store. The yarn store. That was a mistake as he was on my back in the ergo pulling everything. Including his socks and shoes.
OH! just as I was typing this, I got a call from K. Apparently on her way to the mall, he pulled off both shoes (which is surprising, because these, unlike the earlier ones, are the old school baby lace ups) and chucked one at her head. While she was driving.
The terrible twos have officially commenced.

Well, Grace has her own way of asserting her two-ness. She now pulls herself directly to the edge of her crib and looks like she is trying to climb out.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
There's a Flickr pool of photos as part of a protest against, I think, Ken Starr's ricockulous effort to forcibly divorce the gay couples who were married pre-Prop. 8: [link]
Some of the pictures are just stunning, because of the force of the love and joy of those couples and families. Like this one: [link] Or this one: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Noah is too funny, Kat, but I say that as a non-parent.
I'm in the wi-fi section of the hotel waiting for my sister to play her turn at scrabble. It's the fourth hand I've had in a row that's got a seven letter word, but I've only gotten to play one. On a triple word square.
Life is okay, and the daiquiris are free.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

ita, he is funny usually. But it's all fun and games until he pees on your floor.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
