Thumbs Up! Adios, Toddler Belly. Hiya, Baby Too.

So it's thumbs up to the Brookloneckys. Last night Plot, Duck, PD, 5H and Baby Too ( the former Toddler Belly who was the former Baby I ) went out to the avenues for the most marvelous Vietnamese food at PDQ Dungeness Crab Restaurant on Clement Street.

Her new name is Baby Too because everytime she thinks she hasn't been included in the conversation, she says: Baby Too!

But that's easy to understand. As long as she knows Mommy, Daddy and Mischief are moving, she's happy to move too. Baby too? Yes, honey, Baby too.

The point is to keep smiling, you know? This was Plottie's toast last night:

From golden sand dunes in Brazil
to bright, bright stars under African sky
Some day, I pray that we all will
More adventures come to share
In San Francisco, Brooklyn or anywhere

CLINK! CLINK! CLINK! CLINK!

"Baby too!" said Isabella.

Sorry, Honey. CLINK!



Thumbs up! Today we needed two cars to carry all the stuff to the airport. While waiting in line behind the mountain of bags, packs, stroller, dog kennel, baby and dog, one person in the line said: "You look like you're moving across country."

"Baby too!" said Isabella.



See that mountain next to the few pieces of beef short ribs? It's all garlic. ALL garlic. Never has there been more garlic consumed than at PDQ Dungeness Crab Restaurant. It was a feast for the ages, too. It's really a shame Plotnik doesn't like crab all that much. Neither do Duck nor 5H. This means The Great PD pretty much had to eat that whole buttery, garlicky crab. These would be his hands.



And tomorrow is BZWZ's birthday! Six weeks from now all the Plotniks will be together again on the East coast, and six weeks or so after that is Christmas and they'll be here in Saint Plotniko. So, for the time being, it's a fairly simple transition.

And what a great week. The Great PunkyDunky, The Great FiveHead, Mischief Puppy, and who are we missing? Oh, yes. Baby Too!
