Little birdie told me
Yesterday, the Bean and I went to a new exhibit at the zoo with our Texan neighbors where you hold a little seed-covered stick up inside of a giant enclosed bird sanctuary, and tiny, blue and green parrots land on your shoulders and arms to eat the seeds. In other words, it was Toddler Paradise. The Bean was appropriately humbled.

We tried to buy the Bean a toddler bed today, which is sort of a weird mini-bed, but they were inexplicably sold out. Who buys those things? They seem wildly impractical to me, tiny little beds that he will only be able to use for a year or so. But lately he's been marching up and down in his crib waving his blanket like a flag of surrender. He quits! He's not sleeping in there anymore! While we were on our recent Whirlwind Tour of the East Coast, he also quit his Pack and Play and spent every night in our king-sized hotel beds, his feet in his dad's throat, his head beating out nocturnal beats on my sternum. So, a toddler bed I guess it will be, once we can find one.
Tomorrow is Father's Day! The Bean and I are going to make him pancakes in the shape of pin-up girls and serve them to him from a fishing line. He'll like that.
