The Tissue Relay

We're back in Niskayuna after a fun visit with my parents. I'll have more to say about How to Teach Physics to Your Dog in the near future (including number crunching on the sales rank tracker), but I'm running a little slow at the moment thanks to what was either food poisoning, or some short-duration intestinal bug (either way, if you visit the Corning Museum cafe, avoid the mac and cheese). Thus, we will ease back into blogging with some cute-baby video:

This is SteelyKid in the newly refinished basement at my parents' house, playing her new game: she takes a tissue out of the box, mimes blowing her nose or wiping her face, then runs across the room to put it in the trash. This clip is about a minute out of a ten-minute stretch of nothing but running back and forth across the basement with Kleenex.

It's much cuter than that description sounds, of course. Watch the video. And I'll be back with obsessive book-blogging tomorrow.

Not a full Obsessive Update (because not much happened over the weekend, when we took SteelyKid to my parents' place for Easter), but a quick reminder to folks in the Ithaca, NY area: I'll be giving the physics colloquium at Cornell this afternoon at 4pm. If you're in the area, and want to hear me…

I like the "one shoe off and one shoe on" effect, along with the burbling to herself.

The one shoe off (always the right shoe) is a SteelyKid trademark. She kicks that one shoe off every time, so after a while we just stop putting it back on her.

That is just adorable, kids sure know how to live it up.

OMG! I'm about to expire from a fatal overdose of cute!

We used to call my son Shoe-dini, because no one could keep shoes on his feet for more than three or four minutes at a time.

A lot of our bedtime stories were making up the adventures of Shoe-dini, who had adventures all over the world without his shoes on.

this is just a primitive way of making her run suicide sprints, good to see you are working on her coordination and agility early! Yeah Steely-Kid!
