baby names; Casper games

[flea]

Born to coworker Seth, a son, Jackson. Big brother is Max.
Born to Russell Crowe, a son, Tennyson. Big Brother is Charles.

Casper plays two official games now: one is "tag" which is actually junior hide and seek. It workes best if the parent is the one who hides, and the hiding should be pretty damned obvious, and occasionally the seeker gets bored and wanders off before finding the hider. The second game is "little lamp" and derives from ther Pixar short Luxo Jr (in which a small goose-neck lamp plays with a ball). It involves rolling a ball back and forth across the floor and much giggling when it goes astray.

Casper turns our big pink living room chair into a boat in the evenings, by dint of moving the back pillow to the front of the seat cushion. Different animals join her in the boat. She could also spend hours in the bath, with her ducks, cups, and various small plastic animals. She often does spend a whole hour.

Now, because of the simplicity of the last name, Tennyson Crowe isn't all that bad. Also, he is an actor, so he gets the "I'm a great big freak" exception that all actors and musicians get.

Whereas, you may not name Armadillo Tennyson. Or Byron. Or Fitzwilliam Darcy. Even if Mr. flea would let you.

Aw, I was kind of hoping for Longfellow Flea.
