Catchup Edition, London Week: Mommy edits three issues, Daddy grateful.

The Daily Kina

Another catchup edition?!?! Indeed, because I have been in London speaking at a conference and being weirdly jetlagged. In any case, Mommy did a great job as interim editor and paid a lot of attention to Kina’s hair in the masthead.

Lisa Visits to Read Letters to Kina in Utero From CA & NY Baby Showers in 2016 for HS Graduation Speech Inspo for Her

“When you are 10… When you are 16…”

At Laurea’s baby shower, we invited our guests to fill out these letters to Kina for when she was 10, 18, and 30. We hadn’t pulled them out for seven and a half years, until our friend Lisa suddenly needed to give a graduation speech at the high school she teaches in. No spoilers, but the letters were great.

Hair note: extensions.

The things this child will do for kitties know no bounds.

Kid Narrates Powers-of-Ten-like Concept of Her Home

“the universe is around the earth and our building is inside earth and our apartment is inside the building”

She has, in the past, referred to this effect as “a house inside a house inside a house”, which I like very much.

Hair note: one shiny strand.

Thank you to Laurea for her many wonderful Daily Kinas this week! Thank you all for your patience with unsent emails! Sunday comes tomorrow in the weird world of jet lag.

Brush your hair!
