Last night
Evil toddler stands next to couch where Mama sits, grunting and patting couch cushions.
Mama: "Up?"
Evil toddler: "Up!"
Evil toddler gets boost and proceeds to smack Mama in face repeatedly.
Mama grabs ET's hand: "No! Hitting is not nice!"
Mama gets up from couch and sits away from ET, avoiding eye contact and ignoring, as instructed by parenting books, Super Nanny, and Nanny 911.
ET begins hitting self in face repeatedly.
ET: "Nah nii!" ("Not nice!")
Mama: "Up?"
Evil toddler: "Up!"

Mad Hot
Doug and I enjoyed this great little film yesterday.
If you didn't already realize that kids are simultaneously amazing and weird after watching Spellbound, this is further proof.

Carnival
Come one! Come all! Come see the performing monkey Harrison! Step right up!
See his amazing act of mimicry: What does a cow say? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! What does a cat say? Meow! What does a dog say? Grrrrr! What does a sheep say? Baa!
Watch as he dances freakishly on command!
Be entranced as he points at different parts of the human body with little or no coercion!
Witness his breathtaking ability to throw any item into the kitchen trash bin!
Behold as he"brushes" his own teeth and "wipes" his own nose!
Just a nickel a trick, folks! A nickel a trick!

What!?!
Rothschild® Toddler Boy's 2-pc. Snowsuit
Was $79.99; Now $31.99
Includes bonus headband
Cell phone pocket in jacket
Self-adhesive tab at pant hem for improved fit
Two-piece snowsuit includes jacket with inside cell phone pocket, CD/MP3 holder and glove pocket. Pants have three pockets. Polyester; polyester lining. Washable. Imported.
[Updated to add:
A: Maybe I should get Harrison a cell phone [for Christmas]?
S: Damn. He already has one. He does need an MP3 player though.
A: Do you think he wants the ipod photo, or the ipod nano?
S: Actually, I think he might like a Blackberry instead. He's very busy.
A: Right. Lots of playdates to coordinate, and those hostile takeovers of playground toys.
S: Exactly. And I do wish he'd stay in better touch while he's at daycare. If he had the Blackberry, then he could send me emails at work and text message my phone while I'm en route to pick him up.]
