The smallest lap in the world

Has a kind of Dorothea Lange quality to it, don't you think? Well, if you kind of ignore the red polka-dot couch and lime-green wall. And also: Everything else except Daisy's expression.

Pa-pa Wiggies!

The single most uttered phrase in our household. Daisy went through a Wiggles phase a few months ago. From the moment she woke up or walked into the house, she would run for the remote, hand it to the nearest parent, and yell, "Wiggies! Wiggies!" (Note: The remote in her hand in this photo is not the actual remote, and may in fact be an old cell phone.)

Meanwhile, Buster has this DVD called "Potty Power," recommended to us as a strategic infotainment device to curry enthusiasm for a certain learning experience. It had no real effect on Buster, but Daisy fell in love with it. Because she thinks "Wiggies" means "TV show," she started calling it "Wiggies," and then after a few days "Potty Power Wiggies," which comes out as Pa-pa Wiggies.

Dad is beyond resistence here, the songs on an endless loop in his head. No more diapers for me/Gonna use the potty gonna give it a try ...

The good news: Dad is now extremely enthusiastic about using the potty. He's got potty power!

Open studio

I made up a song, want to hear it?

Yes.

I am Buzz Lightyear, I am Buzz Lightyear
That can spin and fly, spin and fly
All day long along, all day long along
Space space space, space space space

Where is Woody doll, where is Woody doll
Here I am, here I am
Howdy howdy howdy, howdy howdy howdy
Run away, run away

Where is the chicken man, where is the chicken man
Hrr hrr-ha-hrr, hrr hrr-ha-hrr
Here I am, here I am
Here I am, thank you
Run away, run away

Ask him to sing it again and it's exactly the same

Hula girl

Or '80s chick. Not sure.

Moo

And, after 10 years sitting in closets and basements, right back to Thrifstoreland, whence you came.

Mouse

has gotta eat too.

Dad made short ribs one night, but told Buster he was making dinosaur. So Buster decided to feed Mouse, who's a tiger, and who's sometimes called Dike-jobe or Meliah, some dinosaur, in Daisy's doll high chair, which is really Mom's.

Where'd I lose you?

Dreaming

Last night I dreamed all the kids at school went on a field trip to Abiyoyo.
Isn't Abiyoyo a person? Or a monster?
Abiyoyo is a person with really stinky, old, messed-up clothes.
So how did they go on a field trip to Abiyoyo?
All the kids did.
I know. But Abiyoyo's a person. You take a field trip to a place.
Abiyoyo's a monster.
OK, but how do you take a field trip to a monster? Don't you take a field trip to a place?
I dreamed it.
