I also had no idea about Amy's book before, but will pick it up as well. And I just got a call from Duttons today, they have Allyson's book in--isn't that early?
I was just able to wiggle free from the kids, but DH is still putting Isaac down so I'll wait for him to join me before I go watch Eureka.
I just watched Simon Schama's Power of Art-- the PBS series-- on Bernini and WHOA is that a good one. Like Bernini or no, it's really, really fascinating. I always liked his most famous sculpture but knew nothing about his life and the story behind it and I like it even more now. Recommended!
Poking head to post that, according to Nutty "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Jul 11, 2006 5:17:21 am PDT, today is the Dillo's birthday!
Happy first birthday, big baby boy! Happy day to flea, and Casper, and your daddy, and aunt¹ Nutty!
[Edited for
¹ Yeah, it's a couple-of-days-ago Natter, but I couldn't help but think about pronunciations of that word, especially by the mouth of a not-talking-yet first-birthday-ed baby.]
The first birthday boy is home today with an extensive rash and a fever (and I am going home to stay with him in 20 minutes). Comical pictures to follow. Also mr. flea called 45 minutes ago. It went like this:
mr. flea: The baby crapped on me!
me: Was he not wearing a diaper??
mr. flea: He was! It was an explosive butt-bomb! I was on the phone with your mother and holding him and it was everywhere! All over my shirt! Some got on the floor!
me: laughing a lot
mr. flea: It's not funny! It was horrible! Well, I plan to bring out the story of how he crapped on me on his first birthday at parties when he's a teenager.
poor mr. flea and Dillo! I hope his birthday gets better!
Happy Birthday, Dillo! Please do not blow your diaper off with projectile pooping!
hmm ... is there a market for high-impact diapers?
and happy birthday Dillo!
