Palming Mommy
Chris and I have this dumb game that we play. It’s called Name the Punk Band, and it basically entails one of us inadvertently saying some random phrase during a conversation and the other person saying, “Dude, that would make a sweet punk band name.”
Some examples of the bands we’ve created: “Sand Covered Skivvies”, “Swamp on Wheels”, and Chris’ all-time favorite, “Mexicans Love Morrissey”. We’ve recently added a new one to the mix, too — “Palming Mommy” — after Sophia’s new favorite thing in the world. Really she palms everything, not just me. Anything she can’t immediately figure out by mouthing has to be explored by opening and closing her hand repeatedly on the object in question. Nothing escapes the palming method of exploring. The other day, she even palmed her own yawn. It’s such a cute gesture. One I know will end soon, and one I want to remember in detail when it’s gone.
Palming Mommy. Seriously, wouldn’t that make such a great band name? We think so.



thats a cool name.
and your daughter sounds soooo cute,
