    Daddy, I have The Information! I got the pamphlet! -Scarlett after grabbing a pamphlet at the bank

  • Interesting Creativity

    As a parent you are constantly wondering if you’re doing the right thing – are you being too nice or too mean? Is this a time to give in or stand your ground? But recently I heard a great story of something Scarlett did while I was at work. When Danielle’s birthday came around, Scarlett…

  • The Library

    Yesterday I went to the library to learn things so I can learn to work as a doctor -Scarlett

  • First Nine Days in Extra Life

    I’ve been hearing about the members of the Giant Bombcast talk about participating in the Extra Life video game marathon for a few years now. For some reason, when the 2014 event happened, I decided to look into it to see if I could participate this year. When I started looking into it around a…

  • Listening to Jim Gaffigan talking about raising 5 kids in a NYC apartment and suddenly found myself thinking – I could have 5 kids! I have a whole house!

  • When I think of the world and my daughter’s place in it, nothing upsets me more than the fact that misogyny is still the norm and not the exception; especially in the tech sector and on the web.

  • Today’s great conversation

    Scarlett: I’m not an onion! Danielle: But sometimes you make me cry. (Laughter) Scarlett: why are you guys laughing?

  • Marx Brothers

    Watching Marx Brothers A Day At The Races with my two year old. She likes it. But asked me, “Daddy, why doesn’t that man talk?”

  • Scarlett’s Nightmare

    Two nights ago Scarlett had her first nightmare (that she could articulate to us). She was screaming for us to come and then hyperventilating as she told us what was scaring her. I won’t share the exact details, but I’m pretty sure it had to do with the fact that she saw Sleeping Beauty and…

  • Scarlett tries to watch TV

    I come in from raking the leaves and Scarlett is standing there with one remote in her hand and the other two in front of her. She’s pushing buttons and asks me, “Daddy, what button do I need to push to watch a video?” I told here there were a lot of buttons to push.…

  • Conversation with Scarlett

    I’m trying to see if Scarlett knows her five senses. Me: what do you use to hear? To listen? Scarlett: headphones! Me: OK, what do you use to see? Scarlett: telescope! At that point I am thrown off by both the inventiveness and incorrectness of her answers and give up for the time being.

  • Highlight’s from Scarlett’s Halloween Costume Portraits

  • Scientific Method Fails Me

    Scarlett slept all night last night. But for the past week it’s been something like every other day that she sleeps through the entire night. But I can’t figure out the variables. I try to copy them from night to night. Oh well.

  • Rest

    For more or less the first time since mid-June, last night Scarlett slept the entire night without needing her blanket fixed, her hair-tie fixed, or a cup of water. It was nice to get some rest.

  • Scarlett Dancing to I Fight Dragons

    I was explaining bands to Scarlett and she wanted to see an example. The only concert movie I had was from the I Fight Dragons Chicago show. I put that on and she rocked out; And asked me to dance with her. The first video (blurry because she’s so close, I think) she is spinning…
