The Brothers Domendite

We’re rarely content to call things by their right names, so why should “domendites” (er, toes) be any exception? Henry’s new discovery down there coincides with his big bro (almost) mastering our family’s version of This Little Piggy. Check it out: Historical bonus: Compare this bit to Finny & Grandma Nack doing the routine back […]

“More Domendite!”

We’ve mentioned our weird family version of This Little Piggy, but it’s never before been committed to film. 🙂 In this clip you can see Grandma Nack cracking Finn up, earning unending calls for “More Domendite!”

A Tiny Bite of Domendite!

Finny really knows how to bring on the hilarity! Every day it’s something new and totally unpredictable. We’ve known that Finn is very into toes (touching them, purposefully stepping on our feet, “sweeping” them with a paintbrush), but today he added an entirely new angle to his repetoire. One of his current favorite books is […]

Now he’s trying to move into three-syllabled territory. Current projects: Domendite: Our silly word for toes. Finn […]

Bathtime & Foot Fun

Developments are coming fast and furious for our little squirrel-man. He’s now reaching very deliberately for things (to pop into his mouth, naturally)–things that somehow often happen to include pieces of M&D’s faces. We think he’s trying to disprove the saying that “You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you […]

“Peety Weety”

Greetings from a very, very dark room where the Finnfatha is dozing while Margot catches a late-evening shower. We’ve had a nice week with the Liggetts in town, helping enormously as I’ve made the transition back to working full time. I should have a few more pics to share soon, but this whole making-a-living thing […]
