Context: on the bus with both kids. Little A is being very, VERY hyper, as she usually is on transit now that she refuses to play iPad games there (which was the only thing that ever kept her calm and quiet on long transit trips before). She is pretending to attack me with a little […]
From one of my favourite Facebook pages, some parenting inspiration:
OK, this is not actually directly Little A-related, but it concerns kids, geekery and awesomeness, so I say it’s relevant: Little Girls Are Better At Designing Superheroes Than You is a Tumblr where an artist draws superheroes based on the costumes of little girls playing superheros, and it’s great! The creator of it is also […]
Two recent entertaining incidents with the kids, and interesting strangers: #1: Wednesday, I was in a yogurt/smoothie place with both of them (Little A and her younger brother Little D, who comes with us sometimes). Little A had been having a temperamental sort of day, and was immersed in playing on the iPad as she […]
Little A was cranky for a fair bit of today – not all the time, but on and off. Basically, a bit more volatile than usual. On the bus, she was getting really hyper and trying to climb all over everything, insisting that she was performing in a circus, and when I was adamant that […]
In other news, I have engaged Little A in the project of planning a Cat Defense System for the garden (because the one of my cats who insists on going outside keeps mistaking it for a litterbox). Her ideas involve a homemade motion sensor, which she apparently intends to have her uncle Scott help her […]
@Bombay Chowpatty with Little A, after her great-grandma’s 90th birthday. Being down in Little India again makes me realize how much I miss living in this area! My next apartment HAS to be near here! I just wish I could teleport my current place here, complete with garden. The funniest thing – Little A keeps […]
Little A (while sketching in the sand with a stick): “I still have to make my evil to-do list, to put in my secret lair!”
Little A has a talent for being freakishly adorable even when she’s behaving really badly. On the bus tonight, she at one point turned sideways in her seat (she was in the window seat, I was in the aisle seat), braced both her feet against the wall of the bus, and pushed off hard, launching […]
Another pleasant afternoon, hunting zombies in the park with “Captain Skywalker” and “Jedi Rainbow Dash” (Little D and Little A respectively). That’s got to be some kind of a geek trifecta… Though really, I would have thought of Rainbow Dash as more the Han Solo type: “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for […]
