and then there's this - the best thing ever!
our own little radish grown and picked by our own little sprout!

i move stealthily from tree to tree. i shadow you for hours.
the sun is shining and the bees are buzzing and the world is lutzing on its triple axle.
and the baby's sleeping and the birds are peeping and the garden's growing like the full moon.

there's a devil crawling along your floor
it grosses me out that metallica covered loverman. i haven't listened to it, but i am 99.9% sure that they must have wrecked it. i don't think anyone has a chance at improving a nick cave song. don't believe me? watch it.
the bub has begun abc swimming lessons at the pool near our place. she used to love it at the y when she was 6-8 months old. now she wants to cry because she's the only one in the class and the swimming instructor (who shall be referred to as "the bearded lady" from hereon in") is totally full-on and a bit frightening and bub doesn't know who the heck she is or why she's trying to get her away from her daddy. i'm glad the bearded lady changed her tactics at swimming lessons today. she was much kinder and has decided that all bub needs is time. to this end, she walked up and down the pool with bub clinging to her with the saddest face in the world, telling bub "i love you" and bouncing her. she also told me that bub's tendency to hold her crying in is going to damage her and that i should "be very careful"... while i admit to the strangeness of a 2 year old being so extremely stoic, it's also not like the bub holds any other emotion in check. she cries plenty still, has her share of whining, dancing with glee, yelling for fun and lashing out when angry. so i dunno if it's really something i should be worrying about. the bub is just a toughie - what can i say? she laughs when she falls down most of the time and she likes being scared. oh! which reminds me! i was so proud when the bub went on her first rollercoaster a couple weekends ago at the royal easter show. she was about 1/8th of an inch over the height requirement to go on with an adult, but you couldn't even see her in the seat, unless the coaster tipped. check it out!
i LOVE that photo! after she got off, she was all giggles and said she was going on again. we thought it might be a bit much, though, and headed to the carousel for a quieter ride. thanks to erika for the photos.

our smallest adventures
my sweetness sent me an email. he said:
how cute. oh, how cute he is.
and away to london he goes, where he will be recognised as the most brilliant of all the brilliance in the sky.
and, oh, love believe we could be complete...
brent sent me this and said "a song about bess".
