So Little Dude has officially lost his first tooth due to natural causes as opposed to his Papa dropping him while playing in the mall at two years old. Ugh– my guilt complex on that one puts the Mariana Trench to shame. Moving on.
So Little Dude’s lower tooth has been “wiggly” for the last few …
Another installment of the ongoing adventures in the lexicon wonderland of Little Dude Vinton. Little Sis Vinton is totally on the cusp of entry here, but “Oooooh… maaaaaaaaan!!” and “Papa! Lesgo! C’mon!” while super cute, don’t need much explanation. Until then…
Little Dude had a bad day at school yesterday. And …
So way back on Valentine’s Day I gave Lady-Friend a little somethin’ for her photo-takin’ skillz… because, you know, knothing says “lurv” like a lighting set-up. Of course, you know one of the first test subjects would be Little Dude and as it turns out he was kind of into it, throwing himself 110% into …

So here’s a top-to-bottom high five for Little Dude’s Kindergarten teacher who–I think– while we work on manners at home, is also reenforcing them at school. I say that only because the other night, after Little Dude …
I don’t know if you heard, but we went to Moab recently. After a detour that never should have happened, we decided to make the best of it and hit up a pretty cool place that I can’t remember the name of now. Needless to say, it had lots of cliffs and sheer drops and …
Lots and lots of months ago I heard about some magical, beer-sauce based lawn concoction. Apparently, you brew it up, pour it on the “dry yellow” spots and watch as your front yard welcome mat grows into a lush grass carpet of barefoot welcoming bliss. I never did try the recipe because, well, watering helps …
Mud is rad. You know, when you’re not trying to work in it. Or tracking it through your house. Or scraping it off your shoes. Or losing your car keys/loved ones in it. Ok, so mud is mediocre at best.
Still, for a couple five year olds with the green light to build a sloppy mud …
So Little Dude’s made hijacking the Flip Camcorder a regular occurrence- which is fine, because it’s pretty fun to discover them and get inside that kid’s head. Usually, his digital shanghais are nausea-inducing camera shakes and “Woo-woo-wooooooing”, but this time, when it comes to filming a stunt off the recliner, things are very deliberate.
For a …
Little Dude is sneaky. Still, we’ve found his early morning sneakiness (IE- raiding the cupboard and subsequently enjoying his slice of pilfered heaven while hiding under a blanket) trends on the heels of a candy/ice cream shopping trip or some kind of treat bonanza the night before. Enter, Lady-Friend and her recent shopping trip.
Lady-Friend is …
Little Dude wants a pet the same way we want to retire to Hawaii– IE, b-a-d: BAD.
I know this for two reasons:
1) The other day he picked a caterpillar out of the dirt and explained to me how he’d train and feed it. Sadly, after eight hours in a jar in the sun, that didn’t …
