Last weekend we were running errands with Devin in the car, and it became absolutely critical for everyone's sanity that Devin take...a...nap. Devin was strapped in his car seat in the back, legs dangling and eyes wide open. I he could've literally dug his heels into anything at that point, he would have, but instead, he put up one stubborn fight and refused to nap. After trying to coax him to sleep, then reasoning with him to sleep, of course bribing, then mentally willing him to sleep, and then flat out praying that he'd sleep -- all of which were depressingly ineffective -- Davis tried to sing him to sleep. It went a little something like this:
Davis: Twinkle, twinkle, little --
Devin: NO star!
Davis: How I --
Devin: NO wonder...what you are.
Davis: Up above the --
Devin: NO! World! So! High!
Davis: Like --
Devin: NO! Diamond! In! Sky!
Davis: Twee--
Devin: NO! Twinkle. No Little. No Star!

I love Borat
On Saturday, Davis had to work and attend a fundraiser, so I took Devin to Long Beach to visit my friend Camille. Our mutual friend Norman also came along, and we met up with Camille at a local cafe near her house. After some coffee and then dinner at a seafood/burger restaurant, we went back to Camille's place to see her new home. She'd moved to Long Beach after returning from a year-long internship in Nebraska (long story), and though she'd moved into her Long Beach home months ago, this was the first time either Norman or I had visited her new place.
Her plaec was great - cute, clean, remodeled, and best of all, she's got stylish furniture and a gay male friend who helped her arrange it all. She gave us a tour of her place, and when we got to the kitchen, Devin started to take all her refrigerator magnets off and throw her pictures, postcards, and newspaper clippings on the floor. He managed to remove most of the stuff that was within his chubby little reach, but then he stopped at one clipping he saw. It was a newspaper clipping of this photo of Sacha Baron Cohen ("Borat") at the Cannes Film Festival in 2006:
Devin looked at the photo carefully, and then he pointed to Borat and said,
"DADDY!!!"
