No, actually my favorite color is blue....

It's not easy, being green....

OK...here's a prescription for nonvomitupagus. If you're not better by Tuesday, call.

No no no: these swatches are all wrong! You interior decorators are all the same. I need dynamicism! Light! Movement! All you've shown me here is monochromatic modern stuff. Bring me the color!

Awww Dad, I don't like to see you so sick.
If I read you this book, will it make you feel better?

Like the peppered moth, Trixie cleverly blends into her surroundings to avoid being swallowed by predators.

(Apologies to Gary Larson.)

Sage in sage.

Is "Time Out" up yet? I've been sitting very quietly...

Get better soon. I miss you.

Green... it's a state of mind.

No, it's just that since I started puking so much, EVERYTHING in the house is this color....

OR

7-UP: Green. Sprite: Green. Hey, maybe GREEN is the secret!

okay Dad, just tell me where it hurts this time

"As you know, the concept of the suction pump is centuries old. Well, really, that's all this is. Except that instead of sucking water, I'm sucking life. I've just sucked one year of your life away. I might one day go as high as five, but I really don't know what that would do to you. So, let's just start with what we have. What did this do to you? Tell me. And remember, this is for posterity, so be honest -- how do you feel?"

anyone care to name this movie??

What she's saying: "Yes Daddy...I promise...I promise I will never ever barf again."

What she's thinking: Haha, if he were feeling better he might have noticed that my fingers are crossed behind the book!

I love The Princess Bride! It's been so long since I've seen it. You've made we want to go home and watch it tonight.

Haeshu,

It's from the Princess Bride!!
:)

"Dad, I know you are sick, but St. Patrick's Day is in March."

Have you seen this phone bill? Who are you talking to in Munich? Unacceptable!

Ben should have taken his own advice from the Gecko Baby Journals : 03 August 2003.

"I am now worried that she's going to be very difficult to care for once she starts blending into her surroundings. Being my first child, I have no idea at what age this might kick in, but I am taking care to wrap her in solid color blankets without too many patterns on them.

On another note: Trixie's skin on her hands has begun to crack and peel. She is clearly molting and preparing to shed her skin."

I apologoze. Upon proofing I realize Ben did take his own advice.
Perhaps a revised hypothesis is in order?

. . .

(Leka's got the bug now. barf.)

she looks like a giant in that chair

Trixie, a la Barbara Walters: "If you were a twee, what kind of twee would you be?"

On another note - hope you get over this bug soon, Ben. I, frankly, am amazed that you didn't take a TPOD vacation. We all would have understood (and it wouldn't have mattered if we didn't!).

The first filovirus was recognized in 1967 when a number of laboratory workers in Germany and Yugoslavia, who were handling tissues from green monkeys, developed hemorrhagic fever. However, toddlers in green have been shown not to carry Marburg virus.

Really, Dad, I can't concentrate on this "alphabet thing" when you're hacking up a lung!!! Let's keep it down please!

And how long have you had this green vision problem? And could you describe to me how you FEEL when that happens? Hmmmm

"Are you seriously still sick? What am I supposed to do while you lay around the house? I've already read these books two times."

(Hope you feel better soon.)

I'm guessing this is a classic case of "The TV Trance" a state of, dare I say euphoria(?), reached by children all over the world when their parents are sick and they get to watch more tv then they are ever allowed!

Here are the doctor's orders:

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning!

"So, that's where I went wrong. I hope they don't cancel my malpractice insurance."

"Dad you look quite ill....it can only get better, well it will get worse before it gets better. I know this from experience!"

See the sad look on her face! Get better!!!

"If they put GREEN socks on me, I swear I will change my name to KERMIT"

Hello, I was just reading 11 month old "milestones" on a few other web-sites.
My baby doesn't talk yet, just baby talk, no "Mama" "Dada"
Do you recall when trixie spoke her first word?
I get concerned, there are too many milestones for "normal" development...gets me worried sometimes.
thanx a bunch!

"dad, seriously have you seen these bills? How much vitamins and orange juice do you really think you need? With me out of day care and you not working on the Trixie Tracker I dunno how we're going to make ends meet."

Ok, so my caption is more about my life than yours. Get well soon!

Aurgh! I do that way too often here, That last post was from me.

My wife says, "Oh sure, just because Trixie has one of those little chairs so you have to have one too."
