Zackie has a new lovey. Most kids get attached to stuffed animals or blankets. My neighbor's daughter has a set of cloth diapers (not used for the obvious purpose, of course), one for each day, and she has to have one to snuggle with before she'll sleep or calm down after she's had a bad day.

My son is in love with a toothbrush. His sister's Powerpuff Girls toothbrush.

on the tube: Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Katie never even freaked out so much over any kind of object. She gets kind of peeved when something goes missing, but if Zac has that toothbrush and it gets taken from him, watch out. He shrieks higher and louder than I could ever imagine a boy shrieking.

recently in the tummy: an entire pint of Haagen-Dazs Creme Brulee. Evil, evil, evil. I had to do a hundred situps after.

So we bought a tiny toothbrush designed for babies, and he kind of likes that, but not nearly as much as he loves Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup.

He makes me so gaga, though, even when he is shrieking over health and beauty aids. He is so gorgeous. He is fiercely independent, cruising along the futon or the edge of our bed. He's very serious; he puts on a serious game face when he's cruising or attempting to get into something forbidden. Katie is always perky and happy and sweet; Zac might turn out to be a little like Al Gore. But opposites are good. Opposites are interesting.
