“Manners, Clarice…
…must be kept.” Unless you’re a toddler.
Up until last night, when Beck would crawl into bed with us he’d crawl over me to get to mommy with an incredibly cute, “S’cuse me daddy! Need pass by!”. Although it’s the wee hours of the damn morning, it always makes us smile and laugh.
This morning, Boo came a-calling with a new greeting.
“Daddy!? Move yo’ butt!”
I kid you not. To be fair, there was much smiling and laughing

Hold me closer, Tiny Driv-ee…
Mommy bought Beck a wee tool kit…and that was our undoing.
He loves to fix things or “open!?”. He is specifically happy with his screw “driv-ee”. However, one day we took out a precision screwdriver…and it was all over but the eventual crying.
Now, the plastic (and safe) screwdriv-ee all but forgotten, Boo’s passion is for “Tiny Driv-ee”. He accompanies it with little pinching gestures.
Luckily, he’s pretty good about hold the pointy part down…except when running with glee. He’s a gleeful kid, so…well we’re working on it.
A couple of times a day he runs to the junk area above the washer chanting, “Driv-ee!? Tiny!”

Dances With Strays strikes again…
When I first met My Loe, she had rescued a lab mix stray dog. Because the local shelter wasn’t a “no kill” facility, she kept the stray “until I find her a home”. Thus, she added Neko to Butterman, who she had previously saved.
Since then, it has never ceased to amaze me that she seems to attract strays. We could be in the middle of nowhere and she would find a dog or injured bird. So cute.
Anyhoo, a couple of weeks ago Laura saw a puppy in the middle of the street, it had been hit and was just laying there. My personal Florence Nightingale sprang into action and, one honkin’ vet bill later, Beck has a new playmate…
Yes, it gets cuter!
In case you didn’t catch the kooky eye…
One brown, one blue, all cute!! At least we’re keeping the labrador theme. Not sure what she’s mixed with, but it’s all manner of cute. Even when she’s peeing on the rug…or the kitchen floor…Beck’s rug…or chewing any number of things…

Terrible Twos, T-minus 30 days and…oh crap they’re here!
Don’t let the pic fool ya, The Fear has arrived! The terrible two have already begun. Kicking, screaming and the infamous “boneless baby”
More as it develops…or is foisted upon us.

Tales from the Backside…
I can’t believe I didn’t share this sooner!
Beck has an…interesting habit. He poops every time we go to a bookstore. Every time. Feed that kid a jar of peanut butter and bananas topped off with a pound of cheese and then take him to Barnes And Noble for 10 minutes in the kids section. Sniff, sniff…whoo. Really, it’s any book store. It constantly amazes us and we’re usually caught without a diaper.
Maybe we could be poop hustlers? “Hey…buddy! Wanna bet I can make this kid poop?”
