1. It was the Maryland Science Center

    This morning, ChaseKBH asked me about the bugs at the center. “Not the Kennedy Center, but the other center.” At this point, I thought if there are only two, I am obviously not taking him to enough centers. This after he used his play phone to call the Kennedy Center to page his stuffed bear in the audience the day before.

  2. Kick Starting a Baby

    Before ChaseKBH was born, I was reading an article in the New York Times Magazine about Freeman Dyson and when I relayed part to Nina, we discovered ChaseKBH would kick every time I said “Freeman Dyson.” He kicked if she said his name. And this worked for a few months until he was born.

    With BeaABH, we discovered a similar kickphrase. Every time I mentioned the Bank of England, she’d fire.

    We don’t know what this means.

  3. Is this really an excuse to use an interrobang‽

    ChaseKBH: Moon...BOOM!
    Me: Moon boom‽ What are you, some kind of Bond villain‽
