Destructo-Willow

Have you ever seen one of those competitive cup-stackers, the ones who stack and unstack plastic cups on late-night TV shows? They do so with blazing speed, the cups appearing to move in a neon blur.
Well, those cup-stackers have nothing on Willow.
No, Willow doesn't stack things. Actually, she doesn't even construct things.
Her specialty is destructing, and she does so with blinding speed.
There used to be a cartoon on a few years back named "The Tick." On it, there was a speed greater than the speed of light. It was the speed of lint. Nothing was faster. As in: "Where did that lint come from?" "I don't know, it's just there, out of nowhere. It moves at the speed of lint."
Willow moves faster.
This morning, for example, as I finished breakfast, I heard, "Whap! Whap! Whap!" Willow had gone from playing peacefully in the floor with her cereal bowl to pulling magazines off an end table in record time. The "whaps" were the magazines hitting the floor. Then came a tissue box. Then a picture frame.
Later, as I loaded clothes into the washer, she pulled them out just as quickly. After I finally fought her off and started the washer, she moved to the pile of darks and started disassembling it.
Then as I fed her breakfast, I was left wondering, "How did she get 'Apples & Cherries' in her hair?" and "How did she get 'Apples & Cherries' in my hair?"
The girl is fast. Faster than the speed of lint.
But I fear she'll get faster.
While at the zoo last month, I spotted a man chasing after his toddler son on several occasions, at the picnic tables, at the giraffe's exhibit and at the tumble gym. The last time I spotted the pair, the man was dashing, in socked feet, toward the gift shop. I named him "The Running Man."
Do you think that will happen to me?
Will I be "The Running Man?"
I'm already chasing lint.

Daddy gets the afternoon all to himself

Few times in the course of stay-at-home daddyhood does an event like this happen. This, indeed, is historic. I get to take my tail out of this house and go do whatever I want (within legal, moral and ethical bounds, of course). By myself. Alone. Indeed, I say ... indeed. Cherish's mother and grandmother are coming to take care of Willow for the afternoon, giving me a much-earned afternoon to myself. And this is what I'm going to do: I'm going to find the manliest, biggest-waste-of-time, money-wasting, violent movie I can, and I'm going to lay down my wife's hard-earned dime, and I'm going to watch that movie. My pick: "Immortals." I read in the local paper this morning that "Immortals" was rated at only 1 1/2 stars. It's supposed to be a horrible movie. Good. I'm going to bask in the crappy escape from baby poo. I'm going to inhale the smell of stale popcorn and that what-the-heck-is-that?-pee? odor. And I'm going to ...

Today I work

We're traveling to Henderson, Tenn., for a long Thanksgiving weekend. That means: Good eating. Football. Hugs. Excitement for Willow. Giving thanks. Games. Family. And lastly, packing and hauling my little family down there. Yes, that last task is an enormous one (it's a big enough burden with just a husband and wife, but when you add a baby ... oh, my!). We leave tonight. So I know what lies ahead for me today. I'm at the keyboard now, steeling myself for the long day ahead. I have work to do. I've downloaded an app to my iPhone to help me pack for the new addition (Willow). The app is quite helpful, but it's overwhelming looking at the list and its 1,036,154 things to do. Do I even have enough time today to go through this list? And the app doesn't even begin to account for the things Mommy wants. If I were to add those requests to the list, we'd be up to ... just a sec ... calculating ... calculating ... here we go ... 3,176,203 things to...

Attack of the Willow Monster, No. 3

Willow had a fitful night of sleep last night, staying up WAY past her bedtime (until 11:30 p.m.!). Her sleep has been off since Friday, but she seems to be catching up today, logging 2 1/2 hours of napping so far. Mommy and I will be working hard to get her back on schedule tonight. We can't blame her much; she had a few painful shots yesterday morning, and that followed an exciting weekend of guests and Christmastime (yeah, we're early) fun. It's a lot for a little girl to handle, so we're slowing down today and during the next few days.
