For My Canadian Readers

And, also, because if your sister had e-mailed this picture of your 18-month-old nephew, wouldn't you feel the instant desire to share it with as many people as possible?

If you haven't already, meet Noah, who has learned to say "no" and "backpack" this month, but not "badass Aunt Jennie."

It may be time for a visit.

At first I thought they were some sort of odd clergy robe.

Hockey Jersey is much better.

I'm just super impressed that at 18 months, he can say backpack! Badass Aunt Jennie is sure to follow shortly.

I'll take that shout out.

Too bad Toronto is across the country from BC, or you could do a two-for-one visit. :)

Bad Ass may not fly with your sister. As a mom to an almost 3 year old, I'm just saying.

he's adorable! and the badass, just keep saying it. My son heard sh*t once, and only once. he didn't seem to react, didn't say anything about it, etc. Then three months later, totally out of the blue he chose to repeat it--loudly. so it could be coming :)

I have that panini maker. It will change your life. Or at least significantly alter your diet.

Love love it! I think he should have his picture taken every year in that shirt to show the progress. That would be fun to watch.

Post Of The Day

  • Secrets
    You’re only as unique as the secrets you keep. Go do something good. Go do something evil. In solitude and love, it’s beyond good and evil. Go do these things and tell no one. Let them quicken the throb of your heart and the pace of your blood and, as you become your own poem, watch who you become. People will see it in your eyes—not the content of your secrets—but the fact that you have secrets, that you know and have seen secret things. They will love you and hate you, want to possess and destroy you.
