Styling of a Curly Haired Toddler, Self-Styled Edition.

The saga of styling Ali’s hair seems to be ever present in my mind and blog, a dreadfully boring subject to at least 70% of you, I’m sure. However, all of my mornings of attempting to spray and scrunch her hair so she didn’t look like a mangy dog despite her desperate attempts to get […]

Normative Immutability

After my Axiomatically Bombastic post, I’ve had several people ask me how Ali’s Sunday Word project was going, so I decided to give you an update. Because I’m thoughtful like that. The week after A.B., her phrase was “Liberality Equals Generosity”. I’m not sure if it wasn’t difficult enough for her to appreciate the challenge, […]

That’s Axiomatically Bombastic!!!

As you know, I love discovering people’s quirks. And I love that EVERYONE has at least one, if not many, MANY more quirks. Our wonderful Pastor’s quirk is his love with the English language.

My "Musical" Daughter

Why is it that 99% of videos taken of toddlers turn out to be outtakes? Ali had been happily and steadily playing the guitar with Daddy for at least 5 minutes. Daddy was even changing up the chords and made it sound like music. I get out the camera, and this is what transpires:Oh well. […]

Ali on Politics

Just in case you haven’t gotten enough news commentary and analysis. . . Her pre-debate commentary: Her post-debate commentary: And it wouldn’t be complete without an outtake:

What Mommies Don’t Do

I’m feeling pretty decent considering, and I’ve been dying to post this video from last night. It’s dusk and in the car, which is why it starts out dark, then gets lighter. She was talking to herself, and it was cracking us up, so I videoed a bit of it and prompted her to say […]
