Rio lost her first tooth last night, on our way out the door to a holiday party. A party from which we got home late and she fell asleep in the car and did not manage to put her tooth under her pillow. So today, she has been waxing rhapsodic about the tooth fairy, who [...]

How to Get Hot Boys

November 25, 2009

I walk in the door and my beloved husband says, “Uh, you’d better interview your daughter. She’s been giving some interesting tips to her friend.” This sounds intriguing, so I go ahead. Me: “Were you giving tips to your friend?” Rio: “Yes.” Me: “What kind of tips” Rio: “How to get hot boys.” Me: “Oh! [...]

Secret Zombie Girl

November 24, 2009

As I sat down to dinner, Rio looked up from her plate and said, “Oh, hey, Mom, did you…oh never mind.” “What?” “Oh, never mind. It’s a secret.” “You can tell me a secret.” “I don’t think you could handle it.” Oh. Long pause. Then I said, “Is it a good secret or a bad [...]

Bare Naked Daddy

November 23, 2009

There aren’t actually any naked Daddy’s in this post. This is ChildWild’s first ever guest post, writting by my much adored and long-suffering husband. The title is his, as is the tale. Reason #4769 why I married this man: after writing this, he came home and folded a pile of laundry the size of a [...]

Sesame Street iPhone App: Not for Sharing

November 22, 2009

I reviewed the new Sesame Street iPhone app over at Strollerderby yesteday. I think my sweetie put it well when he looked over my shoulder and said, “I cannot imagine anything less interesting.” But we’re adults. This thing is toddler crack. Serena was ready to give new meaning to the phrase “killer app” by murdering [...]

Creative doll repair or Pocket Bondage Princess?

November 12, 2009

I came downstairs today to find this in Serena’s hand. She was cooing over her precious ‘daughter’. Serena is obsessed with these little dolls. Their heads break off easily and can’t be reattached via normal means. Serena refuses to give up on the dolls, and keeps presenting their parts to her daddy saying, “Fix! Fix! [...]

Coloring on the walls

October 29, 2009

Serena loves crayons, and like many toddlers does not wish to have her art confined to paper. The other day, I left her quietly drawing at the craft table. I came back a minute later to find her on the table, in a perfect downward dog pose, reaching between her legs to draw on the [...]

Honey?

October 24, 2009

‘I think I feel a bit like going for a walk,’ Rio said because she totally talks like that. She is five going on Jane Austen. ‘Great!’ says I much less suavely, because I totally talk like I have not had a solid night of sleep in six years. It’s amazing the kids ever learned [...]

Rio’s new business venture

October 6, 2009

I was sitting downstairs with my housemate last night when Rio breezed in. It’s worth noting that Rio sees my housemate as Very Sophisticated and tends to act Very Adult around her. Today she walked right up to her and said, “You should take one of these,” holding out a wad of rolled up papers. [...]
