6-year-old Eric has been a veritable factory of idioms. Some of them are weird & overcomplicated; some of them are kind of neat. Here’s a list-in-progress, just in case you happen to hear the boy.
Read more...As last year, Eric's and Stuart's halloween costumes were home-made, thanks to a month of crazy late-night sewing sessions by Juimiin. Eric wanted to dress as a lamp, and Stuart eventually decided on a comparatively simple tiger.
We wished happy birthday to our first brat, who turned six today. At his request, instead of the perfunctory song, we put on a high-fidelity version of this amazing excerpt from Disney’s Fantasia 2000.
Eric often talks about that he would like to be remembered when he dies. I hope he grows up on his present trajectory – rather like the free spirits shown in the cartoon. If over his many remaining years, he manages to express the sort of genius of Gershwin and the Disney animators, he will certainly be remembered. Then again, he also mentioned wanting to find a potion that lets him stay six years old forever, so maybe that’ll be enough time.
Every weekday, a small number of school buses rumble past my home office window. Last year, Eric used one pair of them, meaning rushed mornings and impeccably timed rendezvous at the stops. Not any more.
Read more...Upstairs, just after bath time for the brats, after some hallway chatter about protons and density, then:
`Enough talking about the periodic table, put on some clothes!’.
Our 5.4-year-old little guy took part in a regional music competition the other day. People who know him will not be surprised that he stood out.
Read more...Eric insisted I publish this today. It has something to do with this video.
Read more...OK. I’m stumped.
What the heck are the sheep talking about at the end of this sesame street classic?
UPDATE. Ah, this Andrews Sisters song.
