It's really flattering when your kids start to imitate you:

This is SteelyKid playing with the toy laptop she got for Christmas in her basement kitchen. Sadly, not only is she imitating her father's computer-addict tendencies, she's also copying my poor laptop-using posture. We'll have to work on that.

For the traditional Appa-for-scale photo, here she is a little bit earlier in the evening, showing Appa how the trains work:

Appa, having the power of flight, is disdainful of rail travel.

(I really need to do an Appa FAQ, to go with these posts, but the Avatar fan site link will suffice for now.)

Last in a series of themed collections of pictures. These ones are showcasing my rudimentary GIMP skills, pasting together multiple pictures into composites. 276/366: Sky-Bison for Scale One of the earliest happenings in the three-week period I'm dumping photos from was SteelyKid getting strep…
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. I stopped a couple of years ago, because SteelyKid started being reluctant to pose for the pictures every week. I got her to pose…
SteelyKid was in an exceptionally happy mood the other night, and so I not only got the silly face shot from the previous post, but also this more traditional Toddler Blogging picture, with Appa, no less: All together now: Awwwwwww.... Appa, you may or may not recall, has served as our standard…
We found out yesterday that one of my great-aunts, who recently moved out of a retirement community because she wanted to live by herself, fell and banged her head badly. While she apparently seemed okay at the time, a short while later she collapsed, and is vanishingly unlikely to recover. While…

I wonder how long before the toy laptops come with wifi, an OS, and a browser.

(And while we're at it, I'd like a Fischer-Price cellphone that comes with a two-year contract.)

Has she started muttering about the quality of the graphs she gets from Excel yet?

Could we have a picture of SteelyKid using her kitchen where we can see all the cool features of the kitchen she has to play with? Silly, I know, but I love seeing all the cool gadgets kids get to play with these days.

My girlfriend said she's so adorable :) And better teach her how to use her laptop with proper posture, I've got this carpal tunnel syndrome, which is really bad :( (yes another computer addict!)
