Little K's first adult teeth have come in. She got the bottom ones in behind her baby teeth, which show no signs of going anywhere. It's disconcerting. Her dentist is aware of it, but hasn't chosen any action yet. Mostly we joke that my husband's history doing research on sharks has had a long-term, Lamarkian evolutionary effect.

MJ just showed me the X he made to mark the spot. He even trimmed the edges. He doesn't spend quite as much time these days pretending to be a pirate, but it's still a fascination. For some reason, he and his tiger were making a movie the other day. He talked me into taking him home from pre-school, promising to let me work. While I tried to work, he was in my office taping paper to the radiator for the movie screen, and then had problems with the movie camera. Tiger was eventually able to fix the pipes, and they started filming. Mama was not given a copy of the script, so I can't tell you what it was about.

Maybe this game came from our recent watching of The Muppet Movie. They really like it, and MJ and K sing variations of the "Movin' Right Along" song sometime while they play. This morning MJ set up a tent in the living room, and told us he was on his way to California.

The introduction to Calvin and Hobbes hasn't had quite the same effect on play. I asked MJ if his tiger would be like Hobbes, but he solemnly told me that Tiger (a Beanie Baby) was too small. My aunt sent a C&H book that I didn't already own for my birthday, and that caused my partner to pull down the one that had the original strips. I'd forgotten how much of our early marriage was colored by Calvin and Hobbes.

I made apple pie. It was good. There are two slices left. I used Honey Crisp apples, since I had a half peck of them. I've been on a baking tear lately, having to stop myself from making cookies before the last project is eaten.

Today I cleaned the fridge. I took everything out, scrubbed it down, and got rid of the unofficial biology experiments.

See?  This is why I don't post diaries any more.
