Father’s Day New York Times Project
Today’s New York Times had a featureette in the Week in Review section where artists were asked to do a portrait of their father and say something their father could do that the the artist never could. I asked Minky to take on this same project. Here is her portrait along with the text, “my Dad is picking up my bed.” I should note that it was important to Minky that I have big chunky legs, knees and elbows.
Happy Valentine’s Day Song
This is an unbelievable testament of love between mother and daughter.
Emergencies and Other Things
Last weekend we finally hung up the mistletoe we bought. Before it was hung up, Coco would hold it over her head and say, “Mommy, there’s an emergency here.” Since it’s hung up at the bottom of the stairs now, she’ll start down and call, “There’s almost an emergency here, Mommy” and you have to run to meet her under the mistletoe.
Today at lunch, while I was working, Coco helped herself to a cookie before finishing her sandwich. Grandma asked why. Coco explained that she wasn’t taking care of her health (and therefore eating a cookie instead of lunch). This was the same response that daddy gave Coco the other night when he told her she couldn’t have any more cookies, while he was eating one.
