OMFG, there is a picture of my dad (thankfully obscured, but I know that cap and stupid grey jeans) in the fucking Daily Mail. I knew he was out on a mission in the Gila for a missing long distance runner, so odd to come across it in a crappy gossipy UK rag.

Oh, and cleaning-up files on the computer and putting order in them counts as cleaning stuff up for Pessakh, right? So in between stuff, now that I have my computer up and running again, I can at least share [link]

Totally! I've had exactly no free time this past week, so I'm going to do a quick essentials-only cleaning today, I think.
Those pictures are all adorable.

Anybody want to come to my house and clean for Pessakh? I'm not Jewish, but it would indeed be a Mission from God.

This one kills me ded: [link] I saw it and thought "this is a boy who sees lots and lots of smiles all the time, and knows they're all for him."

Sarameg, how weird! I have been reading about that runner. I wonder how he died.
Happy belated libkitty!

Oh, good luck! I have to contain all my cleaning to the hours in which PiBaby sleeps, and all my exams are written and graded, which will hopefully starts tonight. Hopefully.
You've got a toddler!
He definitely toddles by now, so in English he's already that indeed. We're trying now to lessen the amount of times we call him "baby" in order to try and getting used to that. How did *that* happen, anyway? So quickly?
(And then I look at pictures of other used-to-be-babies, like the lovely ones billytea posted of Ryan recently, and apparently that's what babies do, grow into toddlers. How interesting.)
Who is done with his bib....
He has another one who has tiny sleeves, like a tank-top (I think that's the name of this kind of clothes), and it takes him three whole extra seconds to get rid of.
Anybody want to come to my house and clean for Pessakh? I'm not Jewish, but it would indeed be a Mission from God.
Um, will you be willing to also not each Khamets (and all the extra don't-eat-on-Pessakh that most Ashkenazi Jews - and now me - have to give up) for a week?
I have to admit, sometimes, and only 99% jokingly, I wish there were a way to convert out of Judaism for the month that ends with this week of Pesakh (but I love the holiday itself, and the not-eating-stuff really is not something to worry about. It's all the stress that I wanna get rid of).

This leaning-his-head-to-one-side-and-smiling is how he tries (and, of course, succeeds each and every time) in charming whoever he wants to charm. How will we ever be able to set clear limits to all this adorableness?
Oh, and thanks for the lovely words, y'all! It's so much fun reading them and looking at him through others' eyes [Edit: on top of my completely objective ones, that is].

Pi toddler is ridiculously adorable. Good luck figuring out how to say no to that smile.
