Window Water Baby Moving
"Stan Brakhage's Window Water Baby Moving (1959) is the only film I've seen of childbirth which makes sense. It has genuine, uncanny, visceral poetry. It tells the truth. Be prepared for its frankness." —PN

PARTY MONSTERS
Part of the invitation for birthday party for Ruby (2), Elsa (3) and Sadie (4). We're making pumpkin cupcakes and a piñata today for tomorrow's party. Last RSVP count: 65 kids!
PARTY UPDATE #1: On the way to the party, Elsa refused french fries and said her head hurt. (I thought it was the cupcake and spoonful of frosting talking.) Ten minutes after arriving at her own party, I was cleaning Elsa's barf off the floor. All her friends are going wild with the Rock School DJs and she's home sleeping if off. :(
POST-PARTY UPDATE #1: Elsa slept it off for an hour then we headed back to see her friends at party central. She worked on a donut and stayed close to me on the dance floor. An hour later she was running and chasing and partying like it was her birthday. We got cleaned up, packed up and back home before Game 4 traffic made me sick. Before we got in the door, I could feel Elsa burning up and she was asking for her pajamas. Ten minutes later she was asleep in my arms on the sofa. An hour later I was cleaning apple cider barf off the living room floor. Now, after bath and Tylenol, cuddled on Mom's lap watching penguins dance.
Illustrated by Richard Rosenblum
A nice find on Book By Its Cover. The Bright Child’s All American College Coloring Book — illustrated by Richard Rosenblum. Julia bought this one but left behind (!?) four other copies of this beauty. According to one of the commenters on BBIC, Rosenblum was "a high school classmate of Maurice Sendak’s and wrote and illustrated lots of books including Brooklyn Dodger Days, Tugboats, My Bar Mitzvah, and The Golden Age of Aviation."
What's that? That's the sound of everyone googling, eBaying, and searching abebooks for Richard Rosenblum.

Kid O Products: Here and Now
The long-awaited puzzles and blocks from Kid O are available now. Continuing the tradition of Community and Creative Playthings, the Kid O lineup is designed right and well made.
kidonyc.com
The City and Country blocks are re-made based on the original Caroline Pratt design and licensed from City & Country School, which was founded by Pratt in 1914. In three sets (Foundation, Addition and Extension) for $56.00 each. The puzzles are sweet, especially the fractions (ships mid October) and arranging sets — and nicely priced at $15–20 each. I'd like one of everything.

Elsa — On Prince
While listening to Take Me With You, one of her many favorite songs, Elsa had this to say about the singer from Paisley Park: "I think that girl's sad. I think she's all alone by herself in a great big house."
A bunch of Prince videos here (MTV).

Our Message Here...
After a long week in the Intensive Care Nursery, Astrid's coming home today! We will be having a Big/Little Sister party tonight with balloons, presents and Rice Krispie treat sushi (thanks Steph). Elsa will be able to see, touch and smell her little sister for the first time (no kids allowed in the ICN).
Stephen and Shauna made the sign as part of their Your Message Here project. Thanks!
D-Day +2
We've done Indian food, long walks, yoga and everything else.
Suggestions for getting Elsa's sister to make an appearance?
