Weekend Family Blogging

Lots of people ask how SteelyKid is taking to having a younger sibling. Well, judge for yourself:

This is during the Giants-Falcons playoff game this afternoon, but it's pretty typical. When both SteelyKid and The Pip are home, she's always running over to give him kisses and hugs and chatter at him. She's super excited to be a big sister, and that hasn't changed.

Better yet, a few minutes after that first picture, she looked like this:

And, in fact, she's still snoring cutely. We'll wake her up soonish, but for now, we're enjoying the break from constant, exhausting motion.

Hope you and your loved ones are similarly cozy.

In comments to the Sagan post, Niall asked about how I spend my time. This is about to change, as today is the last day of my class for the fall term, then we have an extended break, but it's probably interesting in a life-in-academia way to put up my schedule at the moment: Monday, Wednesday,…
In the comments to yesterday's post about college admissions, Joseph Yoon quoted my statement that "I'm somewhat sympathetic to claims that Asians have a difficult position in higher education," and shot back with: I wonder if you will feel more strongly about this in 10 years when your kids are…

Just how much she loves her brother: I offered to take her to the library, just the two of us, so we could spend some time together alone. When she realized that the Pip was going to stay home, she insisted that she wanted him and would not be dissuaded.

Those are some of the most adorable pictures I have ever seen.

My toddler approves of these pictures, with excited finger-pointing and audible if non-word comments. Heh.
