NOODLE WANTS US TO KNOW SOMETHING

"Daddy, I licked the ends of the bunch of marshmallows, and they stuck together, so now I made...a marshmallow caterpillar! And I ate it!"

SNUGGLED

Noodle and her cousin Lil are finally asleep in their bed, as is Sweetness in his room. You could shoot an insurance-company commercial with them right now, they look so content.

Hope the poor girl doesn't get to find out what an active sleeper Noodle is.

IN WHICH I AM MOMENTARILY FAMOUSER THAN NOODLE'S CLASSMATE'S FAMOUS PARENT

I stepped in for Memere to take Noodle to dance class recently, which was a treat because my afternoon news work and Noodle's class usually coincide - but this time I was able to make the juggle work, and let me tell you that there are few things that will overload your cute circuits more than a dozen four-year-olds taking dance lessons. And few things that overload my I'm-hot-stuff circuts more than one of the other parents recognizing me from the radio, but not recognizing the world-renowned performer who was standing next to me doing their own daughter-watching.

ROCK ON, LITTLE DUDE

Na, na na, nanana na...
