Final Four

Okay, after the cavalcade of cousins we've gotten back to our routine. The four girls are doing just fine; here's some attractive pictures of them, mostly taken by DKV. Let me re-introduce you to the Players:

THEODOTIA AMORY BRADFORD: "Mine!" Her new trick is filling her diaper at the sight of the white moving van coming to take her to school. It's quite Pavlovian and creates an unpopular delay.


MIKI FRANCES ROCK: "Da-da!" Sleeps for half an hour, twice in every 24 hour period. Eats incessantly. Is unpopular with her mother at various times.

(this is not an attractive picture of Mik, nor was it taken by DKV)

ELSIE ASAYO BRADFORD: "Coop has a penis and is a boy; he's a tiny baby, and if you cough around him he'll die."


IDA AKIKO ROCK: "Bay-buh, Bay-buh, Bay-buh! Cat Stevens is singing a song like 'Wild World' and 'Here Comes My Baby' together!"

Any analysis of Theo's response to the sight of the white minivan should take into account that 99.99% of the time, Pete is the driver.

What can I say? She loves me.

Elsie and Ida thoroughly confused Iris, the movement class teacher today, by telling her that their names were Cat Stevens and Allen, respectively.

DKV said...

Miki looks like a baby Pete Rose.

This seems to be just the beginning - those 4 little girls are going to give us all years of mirth. My thanks to the photographers and to the writer with his ear for
contemporary idioms.
