Post about our kidlet
Martin will turn three shortly and we seem to have hit upon what I imagine folks refer to as the “terrible twos”. I’ve also been given uplifting advice such as “two wasn’t nearly as bad as three… oh and wait till they get to four.”
In keeping with the theme of Maritn’s use of language, I [...]
July 25, 2009MartinNo commentsShawn had a big birthday last week (cough30cough) and we were eligible for new phones this week, so we now have a fancy pair of iPhones in our house. Hopefully having Internet everywhere makes these posts too easy .not to make. I have the wordpress part figured out and I have a camera, so as [...]
July 21, 2009Family, Martin1 commentI woke the family up early in the morning, 5:18am to be exact, and shifted us into high gear to make the Link light rail inaugural train ride.
This one trip emphasized the need for light rail before we even made it to the ribbon cutting ceremony.
We walked over a bus top and arrived 10 minutes [...]
July 18, 2009Family, Martin, SeattleNo commentsMartin’s latest word fun fest involves his desired location in relation to a specific person.
A new favorite of ours is:
Pick me down
A variation of “pick me up” of course. Awesome.
Also interesting is his use of:
sit on my lap
What he really means is, “Let me sit on your lap”.
January 14, 2009MartinNo commentsMartin’s figured out he can swap words around within a sentence and that doing so might provoke a different outcome.

I want not go outside

I not want go outside
Besides testing his world with language, Martin has many phrases (often used in a socially unacceptable ways) that tend to [...]

Things are going well here. My mom’s in town (hi mom!), making her our first Florida visitor to Seattle. Marty’s super excited to have is “Bamma” visiting him, and had [...]
September 4, 2008Martin, SeattleNo commentsMartin has been itching to climb anything he can find at the playgrounds near our house. Last week he finally figured out the rope ladder, video after the cut.
August 30, 2008MartinNo commentsLook at me, with my fancy new camera and my picture-uploading dependability! Highlights of this upload include:
Martin’s first dress-up outfit: a rubber finger toothbrush, an oven mitt, and a vinyl smock over his cut-off pajamas. Classy! A bike trip to Mighty-O for donuts, followed by a very messy trip to [...]
August 24, 2008MartinNo commentsA new batch of pictures are up on my photo site! The newest ones are from our trip to the Children’s Museum with Alexander and his parents, as well as a couple from last night and this morning showcasing Martin’s awesome new cheesy fake smile that he likes to flash every time he sees a camera.
(Also, [...]
August 19, 2008MartinNo commentsWhat can I say? The trouble with getting out of the habit of posting is that the longer I go, the more I feel like I need something Big and Monumental and Exciting to be worth of my first post back.
I don’t have that. But we’re going to try to get back in the swing [...]
