| Ada's directorial debut |
[21 Jul 2008|11:41am] |
May I present Ada Norton's Burrito, please don't go, a comedic look at the struggle for resources between man and animal, and what happens when those resources run out on you.

| a note from ada |
[26 Jun 2008|12:55am] |
Ada: "Silverfishes run fast. Put that on the Net."
(after some technical delays)
Ada: (begins to sob) "Put it it on the Net! I want you to put it on the Internet."
Ada: "What I want to put on the blog is that I can run fast. I'm also good at climbing, running, jumping. And put my name. Put my name on the blog."

at the playground,
ada is being v cute.
there's a stage here, so I got on it and said "people of metropolis, your leader ada norton has an announcement."
so she got up and said in a big voice "NOTHING!"
and ran off.
so I said "thank you for your attention"
and she said over her shoulder "Nothing! You hear me? Nothing!"

Damn, almost forgot to post this.
Ada's 4th recursion, and somehow she seems to still be getting lovelier.

"...The birds fly up,
and when they touch the moon they know it's nighttime.
Then they fly back to their nest and go to sleep
with their babies..."

She's typing, albeit with some help. Hint: the word turns out to be "horse".

| A girl and her robot |
[05 Jul 2007|10:52pm] |
Ada and Daddy Gilbert built her very first robot. It's a catbot that follows green things. It has a tail that swishes. It still has a few bugs to work out, like the part about following green things, but it does a bunch of other things, too.
Our daughter's first robot. You could cut the parental pride around here with a knife.

Ada dictated two stories to me at work today, printed them out, and then required that various EFF staff members recite them back to her. They did a pretty good job: she seemed pleased with the delivery of the twist at the end of "Let's Go!" (see below).
On the way home, she was worried that the wind would blow away the stories:
ME: It's okay, I have a copy on the computer. I can print out as many copies as I like. You could give that copy away and I could print out another copy. We would still have the stories.
ADA: So we could give everybody my stories and I could still hold on tightly to these?
ME: Sure!
ADA: That's a good idea!
Go the young copyright minimalist!
Let's Go!
Once upon a time there was a horsie that saved other unicorns. Oh oh! One day, there was a unicorn that wanted to be saved. Someone wanted to get the unicorn as a pet, and the unicorn wanted to just get a girl that was named Ada Norton.
The End.

The beautiful daughter on the Segway... but really it's a thin excuse to link to this post.
The daughter, she is... assertive.

...the best thing is that she looks more like Mom in Mom's glasses than Mom does in Mom's glasses.

Ada indulges in the traditional anglo-grandparental treats: television, cake, and comfy chairs.

Ada is traveling for the next two weeks, to visit Nanna Grandma in the birthplace of radio. So there may be no new pics for a little while. Instead, gaze upon the child's surly visage during the last time she came back from Great Britian and rejoice that you aren't taking care of her at this moment.

| We're not sure what she's thinking here... |

...but whatever it is, it can't be good for us.
This is Ada, umbrellas in her hair, at a Passover/Easter party this past Sunday, with her current entourage leader Heath in tow.

| Screw the wind. |

The other day, Ada and Heath took advantage of spring break and went to the beach to fly kites. The wind did not cooperate, and we were left with ground-locked kites and faces full of sand. Clearly, we had fun anyway.

Ada and Claire show off their budding inner punk (not shown: teaching the girls to throw up the horns at inappropriate moments Lm| ). Here's hoping that this shot will resurface years later while they're trying to jocky for the E-VP position in a Boston law firm, and that it seals the deal for them.

Ada celebrates her 4th birthday with a party of uncontrollable fun (pictured here: not quite as bad as Colonel Kurtz, but it seemed at times to be a bit overwhelming for all parties involved).

We're flying today, back to the West Coast where it is cold and rainy, but where there is Mommy and Daddy Danny and friends and good coffee and better traffic. (Ok, so those last two were for Daddy Gilbert.)
In the meantime, enjoy this picture of Ada restricting a small stone bunny from running away.
