ME: “Run that way, Daniel. Yeah, good, that’s it. Now stop. Stop! STOP!!!” I guess it’s like playing with Forrest Gump.

Daniel, the other day, while looking out the window at our minivan he calls Mimi: “Crash, Mimi.” And today, pointing upstairs, “Daddy, sick.” I hope he isn’t psychic.

I get quite a bit of positive feedback from my email, Facebook and Twitter friends on the occasional links I send out on parenting-related news, articles and other info that have caught my eye. As a parent of a toddler and two infants, after all, I can’t really help but try to spot these useful tidbits as I go about my business online.

Never really planned on formally publishing these in any one place, but what the hey, I’ll start posting these here on Very Small People from here on in for your potential benefit. On top of the semi-“regular” posts on life with Daniel. Sarah and Alexa, of course.

It’ll be easy to get to them — they’ll all be tagged fyi. To browse through them, just go directly to

More coming soon!

Daniel was playing and tapping Alexa on the head. She gave him her patented Death Stare.

DANIEL: “Baby, stop it! Daddy, baby stop it!”

I think the next 20-some years will be interesting.

We’re trying to get Daniel to practice his speech and pronunciation.

DANIEL: “Daddy, appa jooz please.”

ME: “Daniel, say ‘ap-ple juice.’”

DANIEL: “No! I don’t want it! I want appa jooz!”

While in the middle of preparing a hot lunch in the kitchen, Daniel walked in with some toy issue.

DANIEL: “Daddy, Daddy, what…”

ME: “Hold on, Daniel.”

DANIEL: “Daddy, Daddy, what…”

ME: “Daniel, I’m busy.”

DANIEL: “I busy too!”

As told to me: Fabienne was nursing Alexa when Sarah started crying. So Daniel went to the kitchen, pulled out an empty bottle and put it in the bottle warmer.

Good boy; will be very helpful once he gets the details straight.

Another FYI. Gotta go shopping again this weekend, then…
