Joshua picked up the habit a few days ago of saying "Dad" in this long drawn-out way as if he's exasperated or embarassed by my behavior. Say it out loud now with the proper dip in pitch in the middle to see what I mean: "Daaaa-aaad". What's even funnier is that sometimes his D's are softer, more like T's and his A's sometimes sound a bit like O's. Thus, sometimes it sounds like my one-year old son is admonishing someone named "Todd"....

Since I've started blogging, I've come across Dooce. I check out her blog maybe a couple times a week. Some of what she writes really smacks home because her child is only about 1 month older than our twins. For instance, this entry in which she describes how annoying it is when her child grinds her teeth. Well, today I figured out what Jacob's teeth grinding sounds like. Yep. Like somebody chewing marbles.
