Alex and I having a serious conversation about what to do when you're angry:
Me: ...so it's okay to be mad, but just use your words. What can you do when you get angry?
Alex: Bite mommy.

My mom woke up the other night and Loren was standing over her with a pair of child's scissors. He was going to cut her hair because she'd been complaining about it and he wanted to surprise her.

My worst fun: hmm, what shall it be this evening? Getting the spaghetti that he removed from his mouth with his hands rubbed all over my shirt (Max's official towel)? Or perhaps any one of the several tantrums that occurred in the stroller? Or maybe his hysteria in the bathtub because I didn't let him dump ALL the baby shampoo out so he could make bubbles? Or might it be when I, retard, took him with me to see a house in Hoboken and he escaped from my arms and started sending faxes on the homeowner's telephone?

Conor was taking a shower and , as is his wont, he mixed up a potion of shampoos and oils and soaps and stuff. There was nothing in there that should have been a problem, but somehow he ended up pouring it over his penis and was screaming in pain. So I ran down and soaped him off but it took a long long time to get it better and the whole time I'm thinking this is an episode he'll be telling his therapist about someday.

The funniest part was when I suggested that we soak his penis in some warm water, he said "Get a BIG cup."

NO CARRIER

Edith & Lukas are supposedly down for their naps, it's the one hour-and-a-half when Nancy and I can get something done in our new apartment where much needs doing. And we have company coming in a few hours. We hear noise, check on Edith. She has taken off her clothes and dirty diaper, and has covered herself with shit. And covered the sheets, blanket, stuffed animals, walls, her hair, etc. When I walk in, she's grinning and putting her hand in her mouth, saying, "Eat it?"
