		<description><![CDATA[“Dad, I drew you a picture!” has started to strike fear into my heart. To wit: I can’t honestly say if I’m more disturbed by all the woman’s pubic hair (anatomically correct, after all) or the Cyclopean uni-boob, which may only be anatomically correct for Fern’s imaginary alien race. As they say, it’s all normal, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me just start by admitting: I try to impress 4-year olds. A couple of weeks ago we hosted one of those kids who makes preschool look like graduate school. She’s well-behaved and articulate &#8212; a great little role model for my, um, independent three-year old. So of course I decided that on our first [...]]]></description>

But that’s the issue my piece is in. Hey, y’all! It’s the first day of June, which as I’m sure you realize means that my latest trimonthly missive [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Blueberry, Images of Months 4, 5, and 6 It&#8217;s hard to understand how your half birthday could have arrived so quickly. Just yesterday you were a mewling, swaddled infant and now you&#8217;re eating solid food and bashing our chins with your plaster-armored kicks. Plaster? Yes, plaster casts. Like your sister, you inherited both your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m so glad your kids are back in school. (So are most of you, from what I&#8217;m reading.) Just today, Mike and I took the girls to San Francisco&#8217;s brand-spanking-new science museum that&#8217;s so popular they had to import white-gloved crowd shovers from the Japanese commuter train. But school&#8217;s started now for y&#8217;all, and while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As usual, Boo and I spent the better part of her playground hour performing most of The Wizard of Oz for the assembled sparrows and a couple of snickering teenagers. Somewhere along the yellow brick road, she found an orphaned tire from a toy car and a gnarly old twig, so naturally she tried to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Boo is playing with the big girls now. And it&#8217;s scaring the crap out of me. At the playground the other day, she was actively sought out by two four-year olds who seem well on the road to junior high Queen Beedom. Listen in on this snippet of conversation: Strange 4-year old, dressed head to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bug stomp is a huge toddler draw at our new science museum. Not real bugs, of course: it&#8217;s one of those projections where the entire floor becomes a computer screen filled with plants and ants and beetles and cockroaches and ladybugs. You&#8217;re supposed to play the role of collecting scientist: you gently guide the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There were two mondo-cool push-cars at the playground today. I won&#8217;t rehash why I think that mondo-cool stuff doesn&#8217;t belong at the playground because I want to brag about my daughter&#8217;s almost mondo-cool way of handling it. Boobaby really wanted a turn on a push-car. Even two months ago that would have meant she&#8217;d have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I played catch with a 10-year old boy today, and it felt like he was an alien being from another planet. Summer makes the playground get older: the big kids out of school come with their little sisters (my usual posse), or else, as with the baseball-playing boy today, visit their grandmas in The City [...]]]></description>
