28-month olds using domain names!?

Whenever I'm on the laptop, Ella will walk over and say very pleasantly yet matter-of-factly, "pbskids doc org."

When I first started messing about on the web (and this is back in 93, folks), I would not have believed that my 2-year old would be reciting domain names to me.

But there it is...

I'm Frustrating!

Ella has been making a lot of Lego towers lately; she's surprisingly good at it, but occasionally the laws of Lego physics don't bend to her will.

At which point she'll cry out: "I'm frustrating!"

...and a few days later, when we were heading to the county fair: "I'm exciting!"

So she is.

Life lessons from a toddler

Always watch closely. You might miss something fun.


Every day can be Halloween, if you want it to be.

Summer Fun

We got almost a foot of snow in the mountains yesterday. But I'm not ready to give up on summer just yet.


So here is Ella enjoying her favorite hot day activity.

iPod, uPod

Ella loves to listen to music wearing a helmet. (Her name for headphones) She'll ask for "music for my ears."




Her all-time favorite song is still Blue Moon.

Bom ba ba bom ba bom ba bom bom ba ba
bom ba ba bom ba ba dang a dang dang
Ba ba ding a dong ding

Happy Birthday Papa!
