(baby book entry!)
Noah: What is your favorite animal?
Madison: Dog.
Noah: What is your favorite song?
Madison: Team Rocket!
Noah: What is your favorite bird?
Madison: Bluejay. [I detect some coaching here. Not sure if she actually has a favorite bird.]
Noah: What is your favorite food?
Madison: Cheese!
Noah: What is your favorite show?
Madison: Super Why [Mommy likes this because of the African American princess for my own brown-skinned princess wannabe]
Noah: Who’s your favorite cousin?
Madison: Lucia.
Noah: What’s your favorite movie?
Madison: Cinderella. [Again, I suspect coaching. The only Cinderella she's seen is the Brandy version at the grandparents' and she ran around most of the time not watching it.]
Noah: What’s your favorite book?
Madison: Thomas books!
Noah: Who’s awesome?
Madison: Noah! [Ironically I do not suspect coaching here!]
Noah: How much money do you have?
Madison: Five dollars
Noah: Who is your best friend?
Madison: The Feesh! [This is what Brett has nicknamed ThatPatti's son]
I have two kids and a delightfully odd husband, Brett. My children are Noah (born to us in 1997) and Madison (born to her first mom, Pennie, in 2004 and brought to our family through a domestic, open adoption). They are my inspiration and also the reason I don't get more done around here.
I'm a writer and sometimes I get published, which is a nice thing. I write for joy, I write for money and when I'm very lucky, both things happen at the same time. My work appears in national publications including Yoga Journal, Disney's Family.com, Utne, Wondertime, Brain Child and Salon. Currently I am working on a book about my daughter's adoption and seeking representation for the proposal. I also own Smart Cookie Communications with my husband.

We love Super Why too. My six year old digs it in a major way. My ten year old can do the dance really well. LOL.

Sunshine loves Super Why too, and it makes me happy too, both because of the black princess and the subject material (spelling).
