Neuropestology

Richard had an EEG today at Children's. He was only allowed to get 4 hours of sleep last night. It was a chore to keep him awake but thanks to Captain America, he was able to keep his eyes open. We will keep you posted on results!

UPDATE: EEG was normal. All systems go.

Not-so-bad hair

Family Portrait

From left to right: Daddy (the tall one) , me (the one with the big head), Henry (the yellow squarehead), and Mommy (about the same height as me, as you can see). Henry and I are dancing while our parents, too tired to move, look on.

The only hat that fits...

And see how cutely it accentuates my big head!

New 'do

Mommy finally cut my hair after my myriad complaints about looking like a "dirty hippie." How do you like my new clean-cut crew?

Bad hair day

Mommy needs to give my unruly hair a trim. I tried to send her a message by using this baseball cap as a cover-up, especially since this damp weather has been giving me the frizzies in the morning.

Check out my new hat

Actually, it's Mommy's hat, but my big head fills it out very nicely.

Mid-daily round-up: Crime and Punishment edition

Antic 1: After Daddy left for the airport, I was heard exclaiming "Sorry Daddy!" and "Be nice!" I was referring to when I hit Daddy this morning, of course.

Antic 2: Whenever Mommy gives me a time out for hitting, I intentionally whack my huge head against the padded leather sofa, then wail that "I bonk head" in order to garner sympathy.

Antic 3: When I sat down in my red plastic chair, I spontaneously declared "Time out!" and said "I'm sorry." (Mommy and Daddy have conditioned me, you see, the same way I condition them to wake up at 5:45 am to correspond with my morning fussing.)

Update from my 2-year well-baby visit

Vital stats: 29 lbs. (with clothes on), 34.5 in. Both are in the 50th percentile, so I am unfortunately a very average baby. (Had they measured my head, I'm sure I would have been off the chart)

Antics: I was very good when they wanted to stab my juicy little drumstick for a flu shot. I lay down obediently and cried for only a short time, since Daddy told me to "take it like a man, not whine your head off like your mother."

Also, when the elderly nurse left the room, I waved and said, "Bye Grandma!"

Getting dressed for dinner

In the olden days, people used to dress for dinner (see, e.g., any P.G. Wodehouse novel). Today I tried to continue that tradition, but got rather stuck without a Jeeves to assist me. Drat this huge head of mine!!!

My new hat

Mommy got me a new hat on sale from LL Bean. I think she likes the silly ears, which I think are a ridiculous affront to my dignity. I indulged her by trying it on, then promptly removed the offending object. Luckily, most hats don't fit my ginormous head, so I don't have to wear those awful things.
