Tricot Tree Ting: Holiday Spirits
I gotta be honest with ya, I’m not bringing a lot to the plate today - but I have gotten some requests, and you know how I leap to gratify any such whiff of interest from the public at large, so here are some halloween pictures. Let’s start at the beginning, with Zach just seven months old and still basically gigglepudding:
He’s a skeleton! Isn’t that ironic? Because most of his bones are still soft and floppy! They’re so adorable when you can just put them down and walk away from them.
Let’s move on - 2006, a year of great and wonderful halloween travels up to porchland for to trikrtreeterate with the deeliebop and her sweet folks. You might remember this image:
HE’S A DEVIL! Isn’t that ironic? Because he’s really too small to be effectively malevolent! He’s just a little pisher! What a cutie!
So now, 2007 - a year infamous for many things, but not for us giving Z a lame costume to wear, because he wanted to be a robot that was red like a racecar, and lord love the smallest among us, he got it:
This is Zach, the racecar-red alphabetic robot who refuses to wear his beautifully-crafted matching flat-top helmet, as inspired by the alphabetic robot on TMBG’s Here Come the ABCs and if you’re the parent of a young child I hope you know about that dvd already. And just to round it out, here’s the z-bot in context, with his triqourtrietian friends from up around the Arlington in Kensington FER REALZ:
As you can see, it was game face time, and Z had no trouble navigating the mean streets of the north berkeley hills. We had fun. He got candy. Now I am waiting for the next pixie-stix related holiday. I’m lobbying for Election Day, next tuesday. Pass it on.
