I have three pieces of news to report—two personal, one professional. On the professional side: Robin has a go-see! (Those of you who watch America’s Next Top Model will recognize the lingo: a “go-see” is kind of like an audition. It’s a chance for the client to meet with the model, and often have them go through a fitting, before deciding whether to book them). It’s on Monday in SoMa, and the client is Gymboree. I’m all excited! But also worried because Robin seems to be developing a pimple on his cheek! I am going to wash it obsessively and hope it goes away before Monday.

On the personal side: Robin is now crawling properly, although only about half the time. He’ll still lapse into scootching if he has a long way to go. And he really likes to practice standing up.

Oh, and also, he had his first time-out yesterday, after he bit me. I don’t really think he meant to—he’s cutting another tooth, and he was sort of nipping at my shirt. But he got me pretty good so I yelled (involuntarily) and stuck him in his playpen for a minute. So that’s a milestone of a sort…
