Too much cute for words!
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I agree. He is adorable.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I was a bad daddy last night. We put him to bed each night at 7:00. He doesn't enjoy going down for naps, he often cries for a few minutes before settling; but come 7:00, his mummy and daddy change him and sing him a lullaby, and he smiles and grabs hold of our hands; then, when we have him tucked in and turn the lights off, he yawns, maybe burbles to himself for a couple of minutes, and then he's off to sleep.
Anyway, last night after we'd tucked him in Wallybee decided to fill up the vaporiser, and I was left looking after him for a couple of minutes. I would like to say, in my defence, that he totally started it. He poked his tongue out at me, so I poked my tongue out at him. He looked at it owlishly for a couple of seconds, then started giggling. Naturally, I poked my tongue out at him again, moved it from side to side, and then put it back in my mouth with a 'shoop' sound effect. (I'm pretty sure that it's the law. The Giggling Baby law.) He giggles some more, and by the time Wallybee came back, he was wide awake. When we turned the lights off, he started crying, took a few minutes to settle down. Poor noodle, cursed with a father who is apparently a master of tongue-related comedy.

“Not dead yet!”
Bad Daddy, bt!
Seriously, though, as that baby boy progresses and gets cuter, I fear for Civilization. I suspect the Buffista sprog will be our overlords in short order.

There's a good question there. Other Buffista parents: this whole lethal cuteness phase Ryan has going on, that lasts, what, forever? Is that about right?

Mooooom! bt is dropping the "Cute" bomb first thing Sunday morning again. Not fair! Can't be ded with lethal!cute first thing on a Sunday. Seriously, I wanna be reincarnated as a kid of Wallabee and BillyTea. Not only will I be a hottie, but will have awesome parents!
I stopped going to Spina Bifida events because I was sick of hearing how lucky I am.This is me, sort of. Not Spina Bifida, but one of the "mild" Muscular Dystrophies. People forget there are 40 or so different diseases in that classification. Mine is one of the 7 or so that *don't* kill you. Directly, at least. But as a kid, at summer camp, at MD clinic, etc, I was sick of hearing "oh you are so lucky". Finally said to the doctor once, "if I was so lucky, how come I have this shit?!". Kinda stopped it for awhile, at least at the clinic.
ION. How does one manage to start the shower with shampoo, and then manage to go the entire course of the shower and NOT rinse it out? Yup, figured it out with first contact of the towel on the head. :: face-palm ::
Off to see "9" in the theater before it escapes.

Emmett has exited the larval (lethal cute) stage and is transitioning through a chrysalid of dashing and handsome.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Whilst Emmet may not be cute in the sense that Matilda is cute, I fear that his lethality has only increased; I was weeping like a weeping thing over the report he wrote about his baby sister's arrival, and how unimpressed he was initially, what with her not being an iPhone, and then how utterly besotted he was upon actually making her acquaintance. And continues to be. I mean, that was some serious, Grade A Lethal Cuteness right there.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm not as eloquent as Nilly, so I'll go with a more standard form:
If I've offended anybody this year, through my words or deed, intentionally or unknowingly, I am sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Just about, but as Hec said, it evolves.
We had a very big Good Thing happen today! A success in some behavior mod for Emeline. A few weeks ago, I created a behavior chart thingie. It has a castle at the top, and a path with cobblestones. There is a foam princess on a popsicle stick with a pin in the bottom. One side of the path says, "MOVE UP!" and a list of things that will move the princess up one space - Helping with laundry, vacuuming a room, cleaning up without reminding. The other side of the path says "MOVE DOWN" and the same sort of list with whinging (b/c I mispelled it), stomping, arguing, etc. The sky above castle has some cotton ball clouds and a big, sparkly sun and it's surrounded by rewards for reaching the castle. Candy! Sleepover! Baking with Mommy! Ice Cream!
This morning, Emeline reached the castle for the first time!! Things have been a lot better as far as her behavior and habits. She's cleaning up without reminding, she's looking for things to help with that will move her up a space, she's going to be without fighting, and as a result, we are a much happier Miracleborn household. WOOHOO!!! Thank you Supernanny!!
She got a bag of M&M's (her choice) as her reward just now. She's very proud and we just heaped a crapton of praise on her.
