Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Back from NJ. Live Earth was melty hot, and we had the obligatory drunk jackass in front of us getting on people's cases for not standing up during all the sets, but it was great all the same.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't know how!

Seriously, Monique does all of that for me.

Kat, I just spent the afternoon with your daughter. We read Tikki Tikki Tembo until she fell asleep and let go of my finger. She's really working that binky, BTW.

D's remarkably understanding about it, so far. He'll come up for something, discover that the person is in the middle of changing/feeding T and nod soberly and say he'll wait. He does have the experience of his mom running an in-home daycare when he was younger, so that probably helps some. He's a very independent/self-driven child anyway, so...

Of course, the bloom may be off that rose by early August.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

YAY! Binky! I'm so grateful that you were there. I learned from Noah's occupational therapist that we should be cuddling her. So this morning I lowered the guard on one side and slid an arm underneath and behind her and put my hand around her and sort of craddled her there without lifting her up.

Did she have her eyes open for you, paperdol?

Someone is a rocking auntie!

There was a great TAL intro on the show about Siblings where a toddler when asked what she thought about the new baby said, "She died." Only funny cause she wasn't.

Jessica, they are keeping him one more day, I think. He has an eye exam on Tuesday. But the rest of the stuff is a great idea!
