a short vacation

Philip writes . . .

We are off to California to celebrate my dear old dad's 80th birthday. We shall return with tales of pregnant air travel. Joy!

Currently we are grappling with the impulse of random persons to reach out and touch Mimi's stomach. It is a powerful impulse and surprisingly invasive, though I must confess I have on occasion had to check myself so as not to do it to pregnant women who are not my wife. Mimi usually threatens bodily harm while I have suggested she just reach around and grab the person's ass. We'll see how the experiment goes.

More later!

Have a great trip, guys, and take care of the wee one. Mimi, do you want to borrow my 'Thank you for not rubbing my belly' button?

Safe travels and happy birthday to Papa Smith!

This is not the promised "Magical Ponies" post. Apologies. Instead, this is the "You Negligent Monster" post.

I have a pair of loafers that I hate that I wear on pickup days so I can get in and out more quickly. Most days while I'm putting my shoes on, Yuki will run away from me and I will make noisy protestations and she will giggle and come back. Today, however, there was the running and the noisy protestations and the giggling and a splat. I guess she tripped ("running away" involves going around a corner where I can't see her) because she was crying and pulling herself up off the floor when I got to her. "No big deal" as she likes to say (she does, really, it's friggin' adorable). She had a little red line across the bridge of her nose but there was no blood. She asked for a Band Aid and I told her we'd get her one...
