I came very close to slashing my aunt, Joell's, tires this morning as a ruse to keep her and Cindy at our house. I could have gotten away with it in Oakland, since a little auto-vandalism is par for the course, but here in Willits, it couldn't exactly be blamed on rebellious deer. In the end, I had to suck it up and be a big girl, and not clinging to my Mom's leg, begging her to stay and be our unpaid au-pair.
Against my better judgment, we let Cindy and Joell go to the Beach House and Jake and I had to become primary caregivers for our child once again.
Endearing New Trait #1: Baby Talk
I used to think "baby talk" was a really annoying habit of grown-ups and teenagers in love, but I just realized that the babies themselves are the ones who started it. Out of the blue, Griffin has begun adding a "-y" to the end of words. I promise you, we didn't start this. When he whacks his toe with his banging stick, he shrieks, "Toey! Toey!" He loves eating "chippys," talking on his "phony" and trolling night tables looking for the ultimate prize "balmy!" What can I say, the kid likes to moisturize.

ryder has clearly mastered the deadly sleeper hold, but fortunately for griffin he can still be distracted by funny boots.
