Loving School
Between Phelps and Bolt and the Clintons and Obama and Palin most of my non-work time lately has found me too distracted to blog about Fiona. But no news is good news here; we're two weeks into school and Fiona's loving it.How can I tell? Andrea has to leave the house at about 7:05 a.m. and... Read more...

Last of the New York Photos
These slipped through the cracks somehow--Aunt Kathy took a bunch of Fiona photos on our last weekend before we moved away from New York and you can see those here (also linked in the sidebar). That's at the Astoria Park Playground above, where you could find us most weekend mornings from... Read more...

I Can't Remember Her Using Fewer Than Three
We had our first visit with our new pediatrician last week. I liked her a lot, although I'm not sure Fiona would say the same; there was quite a bit of poking and prodding and sample taking and shot giving. Fiona got to show off her truly spooky shot demeanor--she doesn't cry at all when the... Read more...

And So It Begins
I was out of town on business all week, and while I was away Andrea got an iPhone (I'm hoping she raves about it so much I have no choice but to justify getting one for myself). When Andrea and Fiona picked me up at the airport yesterday evening, Andrea handed the phone to me so I could have a... Read more...

My Reputation Proceeds Me
At the grocery store with Fiona last week I decided to pick up a bottle of wine for dinner that night. As we walked through the aisle, Fiona kept trying to pick one out for me."Get the one with the kangaroo, Daddy!" she exclaimed, pointing to a brand with a marsupial logo. "Oh, get the... Read more...

Phrase That Carefully
Fiona knows Andrea is starting a new job teaching next week. But she doesn't really know what I do, and so she asked me recently.Trying to keep it simple, I explained to her that I work on websites, and just like she goes to Noggin or NickJr for her websites, I do websites for grown-ups.So now...

Guess We Can't Spell Words Out That We Don't Want Her to Hear Anymore
Since I don't want to leave a bit of a bummer post up top for too long, here's some exciting news: Fiona picked the middle of our move to learn to read.On the Friday before we left New York, with our house covered in boxes, Fiona pulled out a few books she wanted to read with her mother. Andrea... Read more...

Adjustments
A little over a week since we got to Tampa (though only about 3 days since we got our furniture). How are things going? Eh.The good:Fiona has moved to a twin bed with no guardrails (we left the toddler bed in a heap in NYC) and has yet to fall out (I just jinxed this evening, I'm sure). She's... Read more...

Vagabond Shoes
There's a mediocre movie Wayne Wang and Paul Auster made as a quickie sequel to Smoke in the mid-nineties called Blue in the Face. It was one of those projects where the filmmakers called up a bunch of famous friends and asked them to improv for a few days and then released the resulting mess to... Read more...

First Ballgame
I think after the major milestones like first words and first steps what I was most looking forward to as a parent was taking Fiona to her first baseball game. Despite her vast experience playing baseball, I still wanted to play it cautious -- I knew we'd have to warm up with something minor... Read more...

Politics
In preschool on Thursday the kids learned about Independence Day and some of the symbols of America. Fiona came home with a picture she'd drawn."That's the eagle," she said, pointing to the birdlike object on the left. A stick figure person stood to the right. "What's that man's name, again,...

All I Ask Is That My Labors Be Acknowledged
Fiona sits in front of her xylophone."Daddy, will you teach me to play Winnie-the-Pooh on the xylophone?" she asks. Yesterday I "taught" her how to play Doe, a Deer by playing three notes at a time and then having her repeat them.I've been trying to make my way through a New Yorker article for... Read more...
