Owen is adorable and fantastic!

He's sort of skewed my perspective on little kids.

HA! I bet.

Noah and I talked about why Chester Raccoon in The Kissing Hand is going to school at night. Noah has discovered not only does he have bilateral symmetry but he is diurnal. Sometimes I think I'm just fucking with his head.

Congratulations, Jessica!

FTR, boys' clothes are so much more diverse and so much cuter than girls' clothes. I've bought plenty of both.

I had Kogi tacos and sliders for dinner. They were good enough. And the truck was close to home. I think I'd prefer the dim sum truck next time.

Because it deserves its own non silly post:

Kathy, I'm so sorry. Warm thoughts for your mom.

I think I still have teenage contact high. Need to go to bed.

Dinner: leftover eggplant pasta salad, half a small watermelon, and half an enormous heirloom tomato drizzled with balsamic vinegar & olive oil, garlic, and basil.

I ordered a bi-fold door. This weekend I need to buy a power tool.

Are you allowed to have medical intervention in gender development that early, outside of an intersex issue? I thought you needed years of therapy, etc. Or is that only for surgery and not medication?

What everyone else said--they can hold off puberty in your biosex so that it's sooooo much easier to transition if you decide to, at 18 (or 20 or whenever). Or don't, stop the drugs, and just hit puberty later. For MTFs who transition as adults, gotta say, the results are usually waaaay more obvious than FTMs, partly because of size, and because growing a beard is easier than getting rid of one. Now, as for functionality of genitalia, thats a different question.

Megan, you and Venus and the moon cracked me up (but I'm on the iPhone so cant c&p multiple things easily)

Sis asked me to keep Donna in my thoughts, and now I've got all of you joining me in thinking of her.

I love my Buffistas. Seriously, y'all are the best. ::hugs for everyone::

Oh, and I love Owen and his twitters, too!!

Sometimes I think I'm just fucking with his head.

It's no small part of why we raise them, I think. To watch those connections being made and to also amuse ourselves while it happens.

Dinner: Sandwich, plus golden beets with lemon and garlic, all from the CSA.

Congrats Jessica!

Dinner tonight was a pepper-crusted eye of round, steamed corn on the cob, and half a big beefsteak tomato. The first two turned out magically delicious, but the last tasted kind of funky like it had been soaked in antisceptic or something otherwise medicine-y. (I shouldn't complain too much though, the smaller tomato I had with lunch was awesome).

Baby greens salad with bacon bits and curried chicken salad. This low-carb thing can be quite deelish!
