Mom's view

L, who will be five months old Thursday, is cutting a tooth! Unfortunately, we seem to have lost one of her favorite teethers--the nipple ball (thanks for the tip and name, Melissa)--at a big box store (aka The Evil Place) this morning. I bought the teether through kidsurplus.com for $3, and to avoid paying shipping costs, spent another $97 on cloth diapers and supplies, which I had previously decided against buying because I estimated they would cost as much as disposables. Two weeks and $280 into the cloth diaper experiment, I have free advice for anyone who wants it: if you love doing laundry, choose cloth.

The fat cucumber

by Mooku
Once upon a time, there was a hungry cucumber. It ate 900000000000000000000000000000 whole watermelons and 1000000000000000000000 pieces of broccoli. And next morning he ate a big, fat hippopotamus, and next morning he was way too full. Then he giggled a little bit and did a big, giant buurrrrrrpp! The end.

Mooku's Story

by Mooku
Mooku got three stitches on his chin Friday night. How great is that? Well, how bad is that? The doctor and nurses were nice. They offered some drinks and candy--how great is that?

The very, very, very hungry caterpillar

by Mooku
Once upon a time, there was a very, very, very hungry caterpillar. One day, he eated 100 sausages, 500 hamburgers, 200 cucumbers, and 1000 full pizzas. The next day he was really, really hungry. So, he eated 200 pepperonis, 1000 mushrooms, in one big bite. But the next day, he eated 2000 leaves, 2000 cucumbers, and 500 scrapbooks. And so the next day, he was still hungry. So he eated 1 whole cucumber and 5 big pizzas. And so the next day, he was really really full. The end.

The Hungry Giraffe

by Mooku
One day a giraffe went to a restaurant for dinner. The restaurant's name was Papa John's. He asked for a menu. He said, "I want 100 cucumbers, a bowl full of soup, and 1000 hamburgers." He eated them. So, the next morning he was really full, so he went inside his body with his hand, kind of choked, and pulled out half of the food he eated. The end.

The Sad Story

O.k., I'm going to tell you a story which is real. Don't say it's fake, 'cause it's really real.
Once upon a time, there was a little girl, but I won't tell you her name. But anyway, the little girl once went to a cave with her brother. They heard freaky noises. And so they were brave and her brother slid out a toy sword and fighted against the monsters. All the monsters died, but her big brother didn't. They won. The end.
