Shayla Today

Wow, Shayla actually cooperated for a few shots today! Cool. Shes into 'mouth sounds' now, so she'll stay still while I play the fool and make goofy sounds at her while she mimicks them back to me. By whatever means necessary :).

Hey IT and Mech. Eng. Guys and Gals! How about developing a Baby Cleaning Machine!?

It could be a conveyor-belted floor model machine that would sit in the corner of your dining room/living room. You simply sit your art project looking-like child on the conveyor belt, turn on the switch, and then they dissapear into a self-contained metal encased cleaning utility that does it all!
    It would: 1.take off their clothes (while tickling them into submision), 2. wash them down hair and all, 3. dry them, 4. change their diaper, 5. blow and style their hair, and 6. puts them in fresh clothes. All This, AND it even gets the tomato sauce out of their ear canal, completely! That's not all! While this is all going on it is playing the Sesame Street, or Wow Wow Wubbzy, or Dora the Explorer theme song!
    The exterior shell could be made out of stainless to keep wipedown easy since we all know it will be vandalized by your little sweet-tart.
    So....What do you guys think!!? Huh? What? Aw....
    ......Yeah,.....Okay......Maybe I should just contact the engineers over at The Dr. Seuss Corporation.?
 
Age comes naturally. You have to work for Wisdom.

Shayla & I at Ruta Maya Thursday Eve.

We like to go to Ruta for Amy's Ice Cream. The crowd is more diverse and colorful--more fun-- than at Amy's. Plus the draw of good coffee always helps. Shayla made a few new friends there this time as well. A brother, 8, and his sister, 5. They all had a lot of fun. Sorry there are no pics of this. I was falling asleep on the job. I'll do better next time. Also, I need to get pics of the actual ice cream consumption. :)
