Here's a list of some things that have been happening around my house over the last few months...
- Zoë nicknamed one of her orange crayons "Seventy-six Thousand." She was just moving through the house calling for it.
- Ike has become fond of (and quite good at) spitting his food in a fine spray. One blast can coat an adult's entire head and face.
- Zoë was sitting on the potty the other day, saying "Gross, gross, gross, gross" for close to five minutes.
- I've been jonesing for American cheese for the past few weeks. Why? Wasn't I brought up better than that?
- I've been getting very good at making accurate predictions using mathematics, and I have always been ham fisted when it comes to math. Always. So this is a curiosity.
- A few weeks ago, I was teasing Zoë, told her that if she kept eating her yogurt with a fork she'd turn into a blueberry. She looked at me right in the eyes, her lips coated in creaminess, and she said, "Dad, you know that's not a fact."
- I've been getting up at 5 in the morning, so I'll have some quiet in the house. The other morning Ike got up at four. He's going to be a gambling addict.
- On September 26th at 9:00 p.m. Zoë asked the following question: "How are people made?"
- I have come close to perfecting a barbecue version of pizza.
- Zoë reiterated the "how are people made" question on October 6th at 11:00 a.m. My guess is that the answer given in September was insufficient.
- Earlier in November we harvested apples from the trees in our backyard, but I should amend that statement: we harvested the best apples I have ever tasted from the trees in our backyard.
- Zoë has decided to name her children Ted and Lilly.
