As you may have guessed, it&#8217;s a transformation of &#8220;Twelve Days of Christmas,&#8221; and one we hadn&#8217;t read together very often. I think this was our second time reading it. &#8220;On my first day of Summer, the sunshine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two small things, both relating to reading: 1. The monkey is fascinated with letters and numbers lately (though, he doesn&#8217;t know the difference quite yet, so he refers to the latter as &#8220;letters&#8221; also). I don&#8217;t mind in the least that about seventeen-thousand times a day he asks, &#8220;what do THOSE letters say?&#8221; or &#8220;what [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s how a typical night plays out (our son is in his terrible twos, not so incidentally): Struggle with him to get him to the toilet for his last pee before bed.

The monkey didn&#8217;t have his afternoon nap, and yet wasn&#8217;t making it through the afternoon with any sort of grace and &#8220;withitness&#8221;. A few weekends ago he missed both Saturday and Sunday (by design) and didn&#8217;t seem to miss the naps all that much. Today [...]]]></description>

But each person only knows their own reality, so that&#8217;s all I can really say by way of apology. I took the monkey to the Canadian Museum of Nature today. My wife had let [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Dipper,&#8221; &#8220;Dunk-Dunk,&#8221; and &#8220;Boop&#8221; are three different semi-sensical words used by three different children as a label for the same thing: ketchup. The latter happens to be the one our monkey uses (indeed, any goopy sauce or dressing is &#8220;boop&#8221;). I don&#8217;t get it. This is a kid who can pronounce &#8220;Deinonychus&#8221; correctly. The two [...]]]></description>
