Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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

I'm glad you found it, Hil.

We opened the side of ltc's adapted crib this weekend after she climbed out twice. Now that it is open and she can get up from it whenever she wants, she stays in there and calls us when she wants to get up. Toddlers are weird.

sj, I remember the day the crib walls came down in our house. One of our twins had learned to climb out, so we would come in their room in the morning and find him sitting on the floor in the midst of a large pile of books, and his brother, still in the crib, also sitting in a large pile of books that had been pushed through the slats for him by the climber.

We knew it was time to convert the cribs, but we also saw ourselves in these boys who had conjured up their parents idea of heaven (a pile of books with nothing to do but read) as the first reward for learning to escape.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's beautiful, Rick.

That's adorable, Rick. She woke up at 3 this morning and "read" to herself for at least an hour. We're both exhausted today.

I'm listening to a book in my car because ltc fell asleep on the way home from school. Pick up was awful today and I'm not waking the little monster up.

That is adorable!!! Omg. (Especially the sharing books with the sibling who can't get out)

ION, Kirk Acevedo followed me on Twitter the other day. I have no idea why.

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

My older brother celebrated learning how to escape his crib by leaping out and giving himself concussion. While my mother, pregnant with me, was in front of the television awaiting the moon landing. Instead she had to take him to hospital. One small step indeed.

This is making me really thirsty for soda. I've never been a fan of colas, I like water and drink a lot of it, and I'm not supposed to drink carbonated beverages at all because of the IC. However. I might have to rummage in the fridge to see if there's anything fizzy and slightly sweet tucked away in a corner..
