Today marks twelve weeks of SteelyKid:
I spent pretty much the whole day at work, trying to get stuff done in advance of Kate's return to work tomorrow, which will see me left home alone with SteelyKid all day for the first time. I'm a little apprehensive, to be honest.
As for the picture, Kate took it, so if there's any particularly interesting context, I don't know what it might be.

STEELYKID: If you eat too many hot dogs, you'll turn into a hot dog!
Long-time readers will remember that I used to do weekly kid-blogging, posting pictures of SteelyKid with a reference animal, Appa the sky-bison from the Avatar cartoon.

DADDY: So, what did you do at school today?
STEELYKID: Daddy, I'm a superhero. They call me Strong Ninja Girl. Strong World-Saving Ninja Girl.
DADDY: Because you save the world?
SteelyKid was born five years ago today. I'd try to be clever and schedule this for exactly five years to the minute of her time of birth, but I've mercifully forgotten exactly when the delivery was, only that it was early in the morning after a very, very long night.
Who needs "interesting context" when there's an infant human in the picture?
You guys do good work.
Appa's shrinking!
:-)
No interesting context, just her being happy after waking up in the afternoon.
I've been trying to remember what SK's stuffed animal reminds me of, and I realize it's a giant water bear. Cool.
