Blink

Published July 3rd, 2008 in Mostly a picture.

And we’re not talking the Malcolm Gladwell book. We’re also not talking one eye at a time. Yet. But watch out, folks, when he gets that one down.

“How you doin’?”

    Hey, and you know he misses you too. His own personal diaphanous wood nymph, on whom to test drive and fine-tune his charming ways. Fear not: we’re trying to figure out how to construe extra childcare needs (not hard!) just so’s he and his sister don’t have to pine for too long.

    “Hey Emily!” he’d say, if he could say either of those two words.
    “This one’s for you!” (ditto above)

    I bet he’s not far off ‘How ya doin’?'- if you say it to him enough.

    3 & 4 have a few words each but mostly expressive noises. 4 is the loudest, messiest baby I’ve ever come across. His comedic ‘Uh-Oh!’ a perfectly apt commentary on the domestic chaos he causes.

    This is such an amazing time for their development. Every day brings something new. Just reward perhaps for losing an old favourite survival tactic. Over the last 17 months we’ve consistently eased ourselves through difficult phases with the knowledge and oft repeated line that nothing was as bad as two toddlers walking in opposite directions. What on earth should we think of now? - other than it will be over in a blink.

    Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
    The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.



    So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.
    For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
