Count Mockula's naughty bits: Lochlan and Clifford
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2015/08/lochlan-and-clifford.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Wednesday, August 12, 2015. Thus far, Lochlan hasn't really gone crazy for a toy when we've been in a store. Well, up until last weekend. We had waved stuffed animals at him on any number of occasions, and he was happy (he's always happy), but had no strong reaction. But last weekend was different. He reached his arms out towards it and bounced up and down. "BUH! He was definitely looking at Clifford. That gave me an idea. About this Clifford book. Anyway, in a year, maybe h...

Count Mockula's naughty bits: April 2015
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Wednesday, April 29, 2015. Yosemite - It's a family affair! I just had to look up how many times I've been to Yosemite. In ten years at this school, I've been five times - twice I was pregnant or had a newborn, once we went to Monterey instead, once it was cancelled due to snow, and I'm not sure why I/we missed the other year. It's such a great trip, and I hope there'll be many more. But at least someone caught that group and yelled to them before they went too far. In a...

Count Mockula's naughty bits: October 2014
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Friday, October 24, 2014. Okay, the kids are alright! Lochlan is pretty much mellow. My dad said earlier that in every picture I've posted, he looks like, "Fuck it, I'm happy! And I think that's a pretty good description. I mean, he fusses and cries, but just not that much. He sleeps a lot. And eats. And then he smiles, and that's pretty much his whole life. Who's a Lochlan bear? Who's a happy boy? You are, Buddy! Just a slight resemblance, that's all I'm saying. He has long...

Count Mockula's naughty bits: December 2014
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Monday, December 29, 2014. First (and seventh) Christmas and more. If I only blog once a month or so, I sure do have a lot of things on my mind to say when I get to it! First and foremost was Christmas. Azadeh is a pain in the ass about 30% of the time, but when she is sweet, she is the sweetest. She was so excited for all her presents - she spent most of Christmas morning clutching gifts to her chest and yelling things like, "Real denim jeans! This is the best ever! Speakin...

Count Mockula's naughty bits: February 2015
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Monday, February 23, 2015. Look, we're not sticking to a regular timeline here. It's an update. I'll take the time when I can find it. (Right now I'm procrastinating on folding laundry! He is getting a ton of hair suddenly (well, a ton relatively speaking - still nothing like those babies that are born with full heads of hair). It's still a sort of strawberry blond, very shiny, and perfectly willing to be combed into a mohawk (tee hee! He starts reaching for the tray before ...

Count Mockula's naughty bits. Wednesday, July 22, 2015. They grow up so fast! On not wanting them to. Here's a funny thing about me: I am always looking to the future. I have been planning for retirement since I was 23. I'm impatient. I rush things. It's just my nature. And even with the kids, I find myself looking forward to their next accomplishment, next milestone. What is the next, newest thing? She's much too big to wrap in the towel, carry to her dad and say, "I found a little flower fairy! It, I n...

Count Mockula's naughty bits: September 2014
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Zadie and the black belt. The night after Lochlan was born, Zadie received her Tiny Tiger black belt in karate. Now she has moved up to the Little Dragons class, where she will work to get another black belt before she enters the Juniors class. So don't be fooled if she tells you she has a black belt in karate. But still. Karate was different from the start. Not a LOT different, mind you - she still fidgeted, got in trouble, and had to sit in...

Count Mockula's naughty bits: July 2014
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Santa Cruz, part two (delayed! On Wednesday morning, we went to Kelly's French Bakery for breakfast. Sweetie loves to get a seeded baguette and a latte, I had a fruit and yogurt dish (though I stole some of the bread), and Z had a pastry. In the same little complex is a grocery store, where we picked up a bag full of snacks, and then we went to Seymour Marine Center. Who used to live in Santa Cruz, and he recommended it. Oh man! In the morning, we he...

Count Mockula's naughty bits: Zadie over ten minutes at Speech Therapy, a photo montage.
http://countmockula.blogspot.com/2015/07/zadie-over-ten-minutes-at-speech.html
Count Mockula's naughty bits. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Zadie over ten minutes at Speech Therapy, a photo montage. Posted by Count Mockula. And she was able to do all that without ever touching the book, or Earth! What a great surprise I had Tuesday! 1) reduced the screen display so all photos were the same size, and went through horizontally as opposed to vertically;. 2) divided the number of photos into 600 seconds which is /- one every 13 seconds;. Sorry, BowSaw62 is on edge. They grow up so fast!
