Such a little man! Thumbs up.
age progression
Shmoo receved his Kindergarten school photos! The older photo is from when he's about 2½.
Braids? I only see cheek.
National blog your daughter's hair weekend.
Every-day blogging has really jumped the shark here at juliloquy. My apologies. I want to write a real Post of Appreciation for my awesome Roo. Too bad I'm kept so busy raising her. Anyway, thanks, Alana, for the idea of daughter-hair posting! (Alana has a boy-girl combo within weeks of the ages...
Awwww - thank you. How fortunate I am that my birthday fell in November post-every-day month! Really enjoying your return to blogging - hope you keep it up (hint, hint!) Love you!
Gentlemen, she's taken
Today is my sister's birthday! Here she is last summer being smothered by Rooie. There's so much I admire about her. She handles everything (kids, her own business, travel, community involvement, kids' schedules, hobbies, a dog) with exquisite taste, creativity, humor, and seeming effortless...
LOL - now it is a game I recognize!
I need to figure out how to make it into a drinking game.
Here's a little game we like to play at our house: Who Will Be the First to Cave and Take the Recycling and/or Trash Out Already? Who Will Hold Out the Longest before Someone Else Caves and Takes Out the Trash Already? Bonus excitement comes from the Jenga-like challenge of putting each new piec...
Define "winner"? The one who doesn't cave?

So precious! I love her liberal use of substitutions for traditional consonants.
Roo explains the galaxy
Roo explains the galaxy Originally uploaded by juliloquy The November-birthday boy has been the focus of so much of this month's blogging thus far; it's time for da Roo to shine. Here she is, reading a book before bed tonight. ETA: On flickr, Uhntoh Steve asked for the transcript, so he...
Yup - my least favorite milestone. N. used to say, "oops, Mommy, I spilled."
get this potty started
I'm trying to decide what is my favorite part of potty training. Of course I love cleaning the evidence of bodily functions off various surfaces, especially carpet. The piles of laundry - more of you to love! Sometimes the two are even combined: hearing "I peed! [on the carpet]" while I am busy ...
Of course most people noticed the excruciatingly adorable kid rather than the redesign, which is really the proper focus! That goes without saying.
housekeeping
My sister ("Bearina") noticed right away that my blog looks different. When she left her comment to the last post, I think what was coming up was just TypePad's basic design. I have since messed with the colors and added the artwork of Lisa Congdon, which I saw at the 20x200 art site and love. I...

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears - but definitely a small, small world. Wonderful story! I was thinking of Bulgaria recently on International Women's Day, when you greeted me at the Sofia airport with a bouquet of flowers. What a great moment!
Love the HPR photo, too. I wonder if we still have that somewhat-drunk-on-oh-so-delicious-Melnik-wine video bit where (egged on by our parents) we asked him when he was going to marry you. He was probably not prepared for the family humor at that stage in your relationship. Anyway, you two were excellent tour guides and I'd go again.
България
Earlier in the month, HPR and I presented at Shmoo's pre-K class for Peace Corps week. Well, HPR did most of the presenting, since he is the one who owns a traditional Bulgarian costume and learned how to play the gaida. [Not pictured: All of Shmoo's classmates covering their ears. The scho...
Heyyyy, I like the redesign.
literary contraband
Tonight I left Roo's room to give a bedtime snuggle to da Shmoo. As he drifted off to sleep, I noticed that Roo had left her room and was standing in the hallway. I was going to tell her to go back to bed, but I instead I watched for a moment. She bent over, picked up some library books that I h...
