Dermot is surprisingly good at Operation. I kept telling him that it was really hard. That if he had trouble, that was ok. Then he went and got four pieces out.

2008-12-25T22:25:00.000-05:00

2008-12-25T22:24:00.000-05:00

The classic Christmas shot of child with lots of toys around.

2008-11-22T22:19:00.000-05:00

Dermot's day care wanted a picture of the parents at their desks to put by the kids' office area. So here's Mama's version.

2008-11-22T22:15:00.000-05:00

And here's Daddy's version. Since Ethan works with some classified material, we decided to use my office for both of us.

2008-11-19T22:17:00.000-05:00

This was Dermot's big reward for night potty training. I made the poor kid stay dry 14 days in a row to earn this. He did it and boy, is he proud of himself and rightly so.

2008-11-02T16:05:00.000-05:00

Dermot trying to get buried in the leaves.

2008-11-02T16:04:00.000-05:00

Dermot and Mama getting a snuggle in the leaf pile.

2008-10-31T16:02:00.000-04:00

Dermot with two of his good friends from daycare.

2008-10-31T16:01:00.000-04:00

Dermot getting ready for his daycare's Halloween parade.

2008-10-25T15:59:00.000-04:00

Dermot in the slide at his friend Emily's birthday party.

2008-10-12T15:57:00.000-04:00

Dermot running toward us after he already found the perfect pumpkin.

2008-10-12T15:55:00.000-04:00

Here's Dermot as king of the hay mountain. The pumpkin patch that we like has a small play area for little kids. It's the whole reason why Dermot prefers this place to the other local pumpkin patch.

2008-10-10T15:04:00.000-04:00

Here's Dermot as Batman. He wore this for several days before Halloween. We definitely got our money's worth.

2008-10-06T15:02:00.000-04:00

I finally convinced Dermot to let me buy him a robe. He, of course, loves it, but what does Mama know? I think he looks like a preschooler Hugh Hefner, and I laugh every time he wears it.

2008-10-04T15:01:00.000-04:00

Dermot with his constant companion "Puppy" as well as his new Batman hat and gloves.

2008-09-27T14:59:00.000-04:00

Dermot with Halloween costume number 1. Within a week he decided on Batman, but this only cost 10 bucks, so I was okay with that.

2008-08-31T21:37:00.000-04:00

We went to a demonstration on being a surgeon at the Liberty Science Museum in Jersey City, NJ. Dermot volunteered to help. The leader was nice and chose him to be a circulation nurse. Dermot got to put on gloves to be sanitary. Then he got to help the surgeon get ready for surgery. We still have Dermot's gloves at home. He uses them to do "experiments" or "science".

2008-08-31T21:36:00.000-04:00

Dermot is helping the surgery team get ready to operate on Hanna Banana (a real banana).

2008-08-31T21:35:00.000-04:00

Dermot at the Liberty Science Center. Notice he still has on the gloves from his surgeon performance.

2008-08-03T21:34:00.000-04:00

Cutest Pirate Ever!

2008-08-02T21:33:00.000-04:00

Dermot fighting the extreme wind at the Franklin Institute in Philly. I'm pretty sure the wind won since Dermot never figured out the principal of aerodynamics. He was supposed to use two of the paddle looking things and treat them like wings. He instead kept fighting the wind with his one paddle thing.

2008-08-02T21:31:00.000-04:00

Dermot and Mama at the top of the big walk-through heart at the Franklin Institute in Philly. Dermot liked this so much that he went through once with Daddy and then had to show Mama what it was like too.

2008-08-01T21:27:00.000-04:00

Dermot in a dinosaur footprint at the museum of natural science in Philly.

2008-08-01T21:26:00.000-04:00

Dermot and Mama at the Big Dig digging up fossils at the natural science museum in Philadelphia. This lasted for all of 2 minutes before Dermot wanted Mama and Daddy to do the digging for him.

2008-07-20T21:25:00.000-04:00

Here's Dermot taking our friend L to the Dark Side at L's first birthday party. Dermot immediately found something that looked like light sabers and went to town. L had just started walking and was already interested in joining in for some light saber fun. (I didn't want to put a picture of his face or his full name just in case his parents don't want it on here.)

2008-07-18T21:18:00.000-04:00

Special Delivery!

2008-07-12T21:16:00.000-04:00

2008-06-20T09:25:00.001-04:00

What a cute little helper.

2008-06-20T09:25:00.000-04:00

Dermot's brain hard at work at the Crayola factory in Easton, PA.

2008-06-15T09:24:00.000-04:00

Dermot as a turtle at the Central Park Zoo. Cutest turtle ever.

2008-06-15T09:23:00.000-04:00

Baby ducks!!!

2008-06-15T09:21:00.000-04:00

Dermot took this picture. He was on a bit of a turtle kick for a while.

2008-06-14T09:20:00.000-04:00

Why don't other children's museums have this? Outside water fun - in NYC even.

2008-06-14T09:18:00.000-04:00

Dermot in the Trojan Horse at the Children's Museum of Manhattan.

2008-06-14T09:14:00.000-04:00

Say Click. Take a pic. Here's Dermot using Click at the Dora and Diego display at the Children's Museum.

2008-06-13T09:15:00.001-04:00

Dermot dancing at the kindergarten graduation for his daycare center.

2008-06-13T09:13:00.000-04:00

Dermot dancing with his partner. The boys were Bert and the girls were Ernie.

2008-05-30T09:12:00.000-04:00

Dermot's first ride on the "BIG SLIDE". He loved this. We went on it four times. It would have been more, but we made him explore other things at our local carnival.

2008-05-30T09:10:00.000-04:00

Daddy's turn.

2008-05-25T09:10:00.000-04:00

Dermot outside Turtleback Zoo.

2008-05-19T10:31:00.000-04:00

2008-05-19T10:29:00.000-04:00

Dermot and Mama as bunnies.

2008-05-19T10:28:00.000-04:00

Dermot climbing on the spider web at the Children's Zoo at Central Park.

2008-05-17T10:24:00.001-04:00

Dermot flying the space shuttle at the New Jersey Children's Museum.

2008-04-26T10:21:00.000-04:00

I have no idea why Dermot wouldn't smile for these pictures. Here he is with cardboard storm troopers.

2008-04-26T10:20:00.001-04:00

Here's unsmiling Dermot and the droids (R2-D2 and C-3PO).

2008-04-26T10:20:00.000-04:00

This is Daddy's favorite picture from out Philly weekend. Here's Mama and Dermot waiting in line to get to see the Star Wars exhibit. Look how excited Dermot is.

2008-04-26T10:18:00.000-04:00

Dermot digging up dinosaur bones at the natural history museum in Philly. This took too long and did not hold his attention at all. He wanted us to dig up the bones.

2008-04-26T10:17:00.000-04:00

Row, row, row your boat. Here's Dermot driving the boat from Where the Wild Things Are. You can also see the reduced version of Mama.

2008-04-26T10:15:00.000-04:00

Farmer D! His great-grandparents would have been proud.

2008-04-26T10:14:00.000-04:00

Dermot doing his usual thing at the Please Touch Museum in Philly. Shop until you drop little boy!

2008-04-05T10:12:00.000-04:00

We took this picture at a park by Ethan's parents' house. Dermot was really worried about a little girl who was probably about 16 months old. Her paents were playing tennis and not really watching her. She had a 5 year old sister who was supposed to be watching her. Here Dermot is saying, "Where's her mommy and daddy? Why is she alone?" Why indeed.

2008-03-29T10:09:00.000-04:00

Here's Dermot using the Force and one of his paper tube light sabers.

2008-03-17T10:07:00.000-04:00

Here are Dermot and Grandpa at the DuPage Children's Museum on Saint Patrick's Day. This big circle made a bubble that surrounded you. It was hard to do without it popping first, but they had fun trying.

2008-03-16T10:04:00.000-04:00

Dermot crashed out at the hotel after a day at Grandma and Grandpa's house during Spring Break.

No!

2008-03-01T19:44:00.000-05:00

Soya the Princess

2008-02-24T19:42:00.000-05:00

I know it's not Dermot, but Soya's cute too.

Happy Birthday Dermot

2008-02-10T19:37:00.001-05:00

Here's Dermot tearing apart the last link of his birthday chain. I know this is more often a Christmas tradition, but I made one for his birthday since he was so excited for his birthday to show up.

Dermot and his Legos

2008-02-09T19:35:00.000-05:00

Future American Idol?

2008-02-02T16:53:00.001-05:00

Dermot and his Lego Jedi fighter with Hyperring - Obi Wan Kenobi's ship

2008-01-30T16:49:00.001-05:00

2007-12-25T21:54:00.000-05:00

Dermot and his beloved Ben 10. This one is actually number 2 and Dermot will let you know that. He's already an obsessive collector. If anyone has Upchuck or Wildvine (DNA version or Battle Version) let us know:)

2007-12-25T21:52:00.000-05:00

Can you believe that my child is already a Star Wars fan? I hate to see what the future holds for him: Doctor Who conventions? Dungeon and Dragons? Gulp, possibly Star Trek conventions?

2007-12-24T21:46:00.000-05:00

Dermot really enjoyed playing in the fort Nana made for him from a blanket and some chairs.

2007-12-24T21:45:00.000-05:00

Dermot and Mama playing "old-school" Hi Ho Cherrio at Nana and PopPop's house.

2007-10-26T22:31:00.000-04:00

Scaarrry Ghost!

2007-10-26T22:30:00.001-04:00

Dermot had a hard time keeping the scary part of his scary ghost costume going. He was having such a good time at his daycare Halloween parade. But you have to say "scary ghost" in a scary voice every time you see him:)

2007-10-26T22:30:00.000-04:00

Dermot requested a picture with his friend who is Minnie Mouse done princess style. He's not so scary here, but you can see his hood, at least.

2007-10-26T22:29:00.000-04:00

Scary ghost, Diego and their teacher.

2007-10-17T17:58:00.000-04:00

Dermot on a pony at his daycare center's Fall Festival.

2007-10-17T17:55:00.000-04:00

Dermot looking not all that impressed with the bunny at his Fall Festival, but, of course, he kept talking about the bunny once he got home.

2007-10-14T18:08:00.000-04:00

Dermot filling up our cart with pumpkins at the Fairfield pumpkin patch. Notice the police helmet that he got on his poopin' on the potty toy spree.

2007-10-14T18:04:00.001-04:00

Here are a bunch of pictures at the House of Fun at the Fairfield Pumpkin Patch. He had a great time for $1.50.

2007-10-14T18:02:00.000-04:00

King of the Mountain!

2007-10-14T18:01:00.000-04:00

2007-10-13T17:58:00.000-04:00

Dermot and Mama attempting to put some decorations on the pumpkin he picked at daycare's field trip. His pumpkin was so fresh that none of the plastic pieces would pierce the skin.

2007-10-10T17:49:00.000-04:00

Dermot the firefighter on Fire Awareness Day at daycare.

2007-08-24T23:05:00.000-04:00

Dermot's first bubble bath. I had gone to Lush in NYC to get me some fancy bath stuff, and I got Dermot some bubble bath too. Notice the pink color. They made a blue bubble bath cake for boys, but it had something non-vegan in it. I liked the pink better anyway. It smelled like cotton candy or pure sugar. It smelled so good. Dermot loved it.

2007-08-24T23:04:00.000-04:00

Now that's a kid enjoying a bubble bath!

2007-08-24T23:00:00.000-04:00

Dermot looks deep in thought. He's probably trying to figure out what roles he wants Mama and Daddy to play at the Perkasie playground's truck/bus/firetruck. It is whatever he wants it to be.

2007-08-23T22:58:00.000-04:00

Dermot in front of the fountain at Franklin Square in Philadelphia. Notice he is holding his newest and favorite toy: a fake dust buster we bought at the Please Touch Museum. He carried that thing with him everywhere. We were all dust busted at some point.

2007-08-23T22:56:00.000-04:00

Daddy, Dermot, and the dragon at the carousel in Franklin Square, Philadelphia. Dermot looks grumpy, but he really had fun. I just think he didn't want to be waiting for his picture to be taken. I think he was just ready to go.

2007-08-23T22:55:00.000-04:00

Do not mess with Dermot when he is checking any one out at the Please Touch Museum's grocery store. He has no patience for people who get in his way. This has been his favorite activity at all three children museums we have been to.

2007-08-23T22:52:00.000-04:00

My grandparents would have loved to see this picture. Dermot had a great time picking corn, turnips, and cabbage at the Please Touch Museum's farm in Philadelphia.

2007-08-22T22:48:00.000-04:00

Our hotel in Philadelphia had 8 pillows on each bed, and of course, we only needed 2 on each bed. Dermot had a fun time piling all of the pillows on top of each other and then climbing the "mountain".

Hi-Ya

2007-08-22T22:46:00.000-04:00

Go Bears!!!

2007-08-15T22:43:00.000-04:00

2007-07-11T22:41:00.000-04:00

Another successful trip to Target. Here we have new SpongeBob pajamas, new gardening gloves, and a gardening hat. We all had big plans about getting things done in the yard. Dermot pulled the leaves off of one weed and decided that I could do the rest when I told him that he had to pull out the entire weed and not just the leaves.

It's summer and time for the tricycle. Notice the Diego helmet and knee pads.

2007-07-01T20:46:00.000-04:00

Surprise! Dermot in a box!

2007-05-26T20:40:00.000-04:00

Dermot found my old ISIS breast pump and decides to try to pump his own milk.

2007-04-22T20:38:00.000-04:00

Dermot's an old pro at the WII

2007-04-22T20:35:00.000-04:00

2007-04-08T20:31:00.000-04:00

There's nothing like a sleeping toddler.

2007-04-01T20:29:00.000-04:00

2007-03-25T10:06:00.000-04:00

You can just see the wheels turning in his little head as he tries to match pieces from his "I Spy" game.

2007-03-25T10:05:00.000-04:00

Dermot in all of his trade marked glory: Wiggles' slippers, Bob the Builder PJs, and his new Ben Ten watch which can turn him into aliens to help fight crime. By the way, Dermot was not happy that I managed to cut off the top of his head.
