Twenty-three years ago during the summer after my junior year, I was invited to represent my beloved Capuchino High School at the annual Boys State conference in Sacramento. Attended by a pair of male delegates from every high school in California, we descended upon the Sac State campus with the express purpose of immersing ourselves [...]

Emma @ 19 months, Halloween 2009

In Words:
Transcript of an actual conversation between mother and daughter.
Fehmeen: What do we say when we go up to someone’s door on Halloween?
Emma: Knock, knock.
Fehmeen: That’s right, but what do we say when they answer the door?
Emma: Hi!
Fehmeen: Ha, ha, good. What do you say after that?
Emma: Trick or treat!

Educating Emma
Posted in Emma on October 26, 2009 | 4 Comments »
Early on during dinner at the Cantina restaurant last night, I asked Fehmeen to teach Emma how to say “trick or treat” in preparation for Halloween this coming Saturday. Last year, due to both her age (7 months) and her lack of walking skills (again, 7 months), Emma was relegated to the role of Halloween [...]

So, there he sits, on the bench at the kitchen table, the omnipresent Coke (no ice) by his side, fully submerged in the four-color fantasy world of the modern day comic book fanboy. Notice how his gaze is transfixed, his concentration unwavering, as he soaks in every last nuanced detail on the printed page before [...]
Last Call
Posted in Emma, Music on September 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Last call at our house is around 8:30 pm every night. That’s the time when Emma emerges from her room dressed in her super-comf jammies, feeling quite fresh after her evening bath, and looking for that one final bottle of warm milk.
Last call.
Emma holds her own bottle as she reclines on my lap. She drinks [...]

On the personally momentous occasion of this being my ONE HUNDREDTH POST on this blog, I have decided to celebrate the event in a manner befitting the nature of the medium. Rather than having to rely on my vastly overworked and woefully underpaid memory for this information at a later date, I am going to [...]

Wake up in the morning with my butt in the sky
What begins as a babble turns into a fake cry
Thank you for noticing that I’m not very dry
Boong Boong Yah
Walk down the hallway and what do I see
All my toys and animals staring back at me
Man, I am SO loving my infancy
Boong Boong Yah

Ten Minutes in Old Navy with Emma

How long does it take my Nani and Nana to get an in-store approval for an Old Navy credit account?
Long enough for a fourteen month-old baby to do the following:
Play a quick pick-up game of toddler soccer with her mom and dad using one of the many garishly colored volleyballs being displayed for sale in [...]

Taking Candy from a Baby

Emma and I enjoy eating snacks. From puffs and veggie straws to Cheerios and animal crackers, we truly love our between meal pick-me-ups.
In fact, we dig snacks so much, we would be extremely hard-pressed to limit our consumption to just one type. Well, on second thought, that’s not quite true. Actually, it’s pretty much a [...]
