Thursday Toddler Blogging 031711

SteelyKid is actually at Grandma and Grandpa's this week, having a ball, and freeing Kate from having to do solo toddler duty for the days that I'm traveling. As a result, you get some week-old pics (though if Grandma and Grandpa send us a picture from this week, I'll post it). Here we have an action shot of one of her current favorite games, which is riding on Kate's back like a backpack, while Kate runs around the house:

This is a big hit, but as you may well imagine, it's exhausting for everyone:

It's been a productive day here-- I wrote almost 4000 words on the book today, which mostly makes up for doing nothing yesterday thanks to this wretched cold. And all reports from Scenic Whitney Point suggest that SteelyKid is having a blast, as are her grandparents.

And now, to settle in and watch some more hoops.

Actually, this ought to be "Wednesday Morning Baby Blogging," as that's when the picture was taken. Kate and I are going to New York City for the weekend, though, and SteelyKid is spending the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa in Scenic Whitney Point. So, you get an early picture, posted late: This…
SteelyKid goes to day care at the Jewish Community Center, which is closed today and tomorrow for Rosh Hashanah. Here we see her calling all her friends on the phone in her play house to wish them a happy new year, and let Appa offer his own greetings: The two-day closing is, as you might imagine…
