Isaac was in meltdown mode today too. Full on tantrum like I hadn't seen in ages. Maybe there's something in the air? Nah, I think in Isaac's case it's just a matter of overtired.
C just went to go see Yo La Tengo. I'd have liked to go with him, but more important that he get to see the show than he get to see it with me.
Franny had an interesting moment recently that's related to Matilda's meltdown. She has been doing that thing of being hard on herself, saying "I'm stupid" or "I can't" or, on this particular day, "I'm ugly." And I reminded her that she knew better than to talk about herself like that. So she whispered to me "I know I'm beautiful, mom, but I *feel like* I'm ugly."

Awwww, Franny. You really are beautiful.
Oh my G-d, I just want to collect the Buffista sprog and give them pep talks and tell them they're all wonderful and odd and beautiful. And then maybe cry over them a little bit.

They really are such a fabulous bunch of kids, all of them.

I think this needs to be filmed, and then shown every year at Christmas, and Easter, and Halloween, and Arbor day
Buffista parents are doing a great job helping their offspring with life's bumps.

Just because it bears saying again. Poor noodles. Poor lovely and loved noodles.
JZ I want you to Mary Poppins in and give that talk to HPF. She won't hear it from me.
Burrell, there is totally something in the air.
Guess which mother-daughter duo spent last night covered in hives? Stupid new dryer sheets.
