I don't think I've ever seen as much joy in this little boy as when he was confronted with multiple Ryans in the mirror maze: [link]
Multiple Ryans is the cutest thing ever! How old is he now? He looks so big in these photos.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

He is now two years and eight months old.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Welcome to 2012, everyone! May this be an excellent year for all of us.
Despite the whole end-of-the-world thing. That doesn't happen until December anyway. Plenty of time.

billy, in the shot of Ryan in his smock, is that child holding a Foster's can?

Happy belated New Year. Well, OK, it's still Jan 1st, so not that late. Hope you all had good ones. There was fizzy wine and pizza here. Was nice.
Ryan is adorable, but I think BT probably already knew that.
We went to the grave today (it's been seven days) and now we are all very tired. We fly to Geneva (long story, but The Girl's family has a home there) tomorrow or the next day, and then I'm going home. Had to cancel a poster presentation I was meant to give at a postgrad conference at the end of the week, but it will be the day after I get home, and flying takes it out of me. Unprofessional, but there's not much to be done about it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Either that or a sippy cup. Unless they now have sippy cup attachments to beer cans in Australia. But, you know, stuff could happen.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aaand the echidnas start here: [link] (Ryan loved them.)
Well, of course he did. This was never in question.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Happy New Year, Bitches!

FTR, I don't think there's anything unprofessional about having to cancel something due to a family emergency. I hope nobody's making you feel bad about it.

Nah, not yet. I am just Guilt Girl. I'm sure people will be lovely. I know the person running the conference, so it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My parents just called. My grandmother passed away this morning.
I think the good things are that she didn't have to go into a nursing home, which she would have hated, and she didn't have to know about her rings disappearing.
